I am using the docbook style sheets (v1.11) and I am experiencing
a problem with a table.  

Bug 1.

It appears that if a table entry
uses MOREROWS, that the output is just a bit wrong (under netscape 4.05).
>From what I can tell, when the HTML table is output and ROWSPAN is
non-zero, than for the next row, the column entry should skip
over the respective TD's (i.e., don't output even blank cells).
As always, its best to look at the example.

The example table is given in: http://www.arlut.utexas/~grk/sgml/t1.sgml
The (incorrect) output that jade111 generates is in: ./t1.htm
The right output is in: ./t1_fixed.htm

Is this a dsssl bug or a netscape bug?

Bug 2.

Ditto mostly of above except now I am using the tex backend.
I am using the latest and greatest jadetex stuff.  When
using the tex backend, just the opposite problem exists.  It
appears that empty cells should be output (morerows) but they are
not appearing in the output tex file.  It does think its
in the right column (columnIndex=3)

The incorrect output that jade111 +latest tex patches is in: t1.tex
The corrected jadetex input file is in: t1_fixed.tex
(I also put the .ps files there).

I looked at the fot file and it appears
that the fot output is correct, i.e., empty cells are output.
It would appear that the tex backend is ignoring the empty
cells?  If someone can verify, I guess I should send this to sebastian?

Again - THANKS for a great product!

Cheers,
Glenn
