We recommend that you use the older 3.0 table standard described here, at least until more browsers
support the current HTML 4.01 standard1.
At this writing, the current versions of most Web browsers do not support many of the advanced features
described below in the section below; see Section 5, “A look ahead: HTML 4.01 tables” (p. 5). Test features
in several browsers before relying on them.
