Hi Darrel,

Because <thead> doesn't work in popular browsers, in a way similar to what
you are doing, I placed a row of heading cells - yes <th> - frequently down
a long table for the side-by-side comparison of 508 and WCAG
(http://jimthatcher.com/sidebyside.htm). Nope it isn't required but it
certainly helps visually - just like your putting the row of headings at the
bottom. And I too would wrap it in <tfoot>, not that that does any good!
