Looking at this:

http://codetalks.org/source/widgets/treegrid/treegrid.sample2.html

I'd say yes. Sort of. ;)

In this case, table would look like this:

head1, head2, head3
data1, data2, data3
data1, data2, data3
---
sub Table head 1, sub Table head 2, sub Table head 3
sub table data 1, sub table data 2, sub table data 3
sub table data 1, sub table data 2, sub table data 3
---
data1, data2, data3
data1, data2, data3

The sub table may or may not have the same number of columns so seems
best served as a separate table.
