To my surprise it informed me that <tfoot> wasn't valid XHTML 1.1 strict,
while it is in the document definition:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modulariz...#s_tablemodule
The TFOOT element needs to come before the TBODY element. Tables should
contain, in the following order:
- an optional CAPTION, followed by
- optional COL and COLGROUP elements, followed by
- an optional THEAD element, followed by
- an optional TFOOT element, and then
- one or more TBODY elements

(This hasn't changed since HTML 4.)

If the browser knows how to handle tables - no. The idea is that the
browser could display the header and the footer, right away, then
progressively fill in the body. Even to display the body in a
scrollable box which doesn't overflow the canvas and the header and
footer are visible without scrolling the document.

Yes, and maybe.
My Netscape 4 displays the <tfoot> before the body, but MSIE 4
displays the foot after the body. Netscape 6 displays the <tfoot> at
the end of the table.
Here's the test HTML I used:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head><title>TFOOT test</title></head>
<body>
<table border=2>
<thead><tr><th>col head 1</th><th>col head 2</th></tr></thead>
<tfoot><tr><td colspan=2>This table contains no useful content
whatever. The present note is inside a <tfoot>
tag.</td></tr></tfoot>
<tr><td>cell 11</td><td>cell 12</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell 21</td><td>cell 22</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell 31</td><td>cell 32</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell 41</td><td>cell 42</td></tr>
</table>
</body>

(1) Why? It's optional, so including or omitting it should make no
difference.
(2) As a matter of fact, I did try it both ways, just to see if
there were an obscure bug in NS4. It didn't matter.
Why use <thead> (or am I making a stupid mistake here?)?

To mark up a table header?
Even if you don't care about semantics, it's a great hook for CSS
if (like me) you find many tables benefit from a clear visual
distinction between the headers and data.

Because modern browsers, when printing a long table, will repeat the
column headings at the top of each page if they're inside <thead>.
(Mozilla 1.4 qualifies as a modern browser on this score. I don't
know whether there are any others.)
Once again, why did you suggest putting in <tbody>?

Sorry about that, you are totally right. I haven't worked much with
tables yet.
Once again, why did you suggest putting in <tbody>?
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.3>
The TBODY start tag is always required except when the table contains
only one table body and no table head or foot sections. The TBODY end
tag may always be safely omitted.

Thank you!
I was going by the syntax description near the start of that
section, which simply reads:
<!ELEMENT TBODY O O (TR)+ -- table body -->
Start tag: optional, End tag: optional
But you are quite correct about the later text.
Now I'm going to have to go through all my tables that have <thead>
and put in <tbody>. :-( But it's better to know than not to know.
