I wish to resubmit an idea that I emitted 9 month ago, buried in the "Header cell in top left of data tables" thread [1][2][3]. The idea was to allow <meter> into <thead> > <tr> at the same level than <th>, to allow to build timelines, timesheets or multi channel TV programms without using hundreds of table cells. A @Interval attribute would be needed on td, to be able to give one or multiple intervals in the meter scale for one input. And overflow of intervals should also be allowed inside <tr>. Any advices about it ?

Can you provide some links to sites that are trying to do what you describe today? 81743 2 robin 2013-01-21 16:00:02 +0000 Mass move to "HTML WG" 81861 3 robin 2013-01-21 16:02:46 +0000 Mass move to "HTML WG" 82494 4 erika.doyle 2013-02-02 01:11:49 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
