Correct on both counts.  Thank you very much, Henry.

After midnight EDT (-0400) tonight, a new (and probably last) release
of my stylesheet for HTML 4.0 tables will be available at
<URL:http://www.oreilly.com/people/staff/crism/dsssl/htmltbl.html>.

;; DSSSL stylesheet for HTML 4.0 tables
;; Created for the W3C XML WG by Christopher R. Maden of O'Reilly and
;;    Associates (crism@xxxxxxxxxxx).
;; The cellpadding attribute needs to be handled by cell contents.
;; The construction rule for p should be deleted when this is included
;;    in the context of a full HTML stylesheet; it is present only to
;;    handle content of sample tables and to give an example of
;;    handling cellpadding.
;; Only tested on LTR content.
;; The col span attribute is handled correctly by Jade, but ignored by
;;    the RTF back-end.
;; width and height set directly on table cells is not supported.

The 'cols' attribute on <table> is no longer supported, as it is not
in the HTML 4.0 Recommendation.

Case comparisons are handled according to the SGML declaration in
effect.
