Yuck... I just had to spend an hour putting together a table... I hate
tables.... but this really had to be a table.

Anyway I was just wondering if one of these was preferable from an
accessibility standpoint. Are COLSPAN and ROWSPAN troublesome for
accessibility purposes? These look radically different in LYNX with the
'alt.php' version seeming to be much less clear.

(note: this one doesn't have the times listed again in the TDs which I
could easily add if it would be helpful)
