Oh no, the great table debate all over again. IIRC this went on for 
months the last time this was brought up. I think the consensus was 
that it was easier on the engine to break it up by cols, then rows, but 
easier on the user (and most consistent with that the user expects) to 
break it up by rows, cols. Adam pointed out that the old mail demo used 
the rows, cols technique and it could smoothly resize tables with 
hundreds of rows.
