I'm laying out a data table and trying to figure out how to best use
headers. The data looks like this:

name | status
====================================person | status
-------------------------------------
employer 1 | status
-------------------------------------
employer 1 | status
====================================person | status
-------------------------------------
employer 1 | status
-------------------------------------
employer 1 | status
====================================
The 'person' is the key element of each record, and each person has two
employers. The 'name' TH makes sense for each person, but for each employer,
it'd make more sense to use the person as the header for that item.

In turn, each left TD should be the TH for the right TD status field.

What's a good way to mark this up? :


Name
Status


person
status


employer
status
