I'm saying that this feature is there for actual data tables.  And that 
the suggestion that Grid is a replacement is not actually helpful given 
that.

Seems to me that asking people to do this for an actual data table is 
just as bad as asking people to use tables for layout.  ;)

The one thing I haven't seen so far is why we should unship, really.  Is 
the only reason that no one else supports it?  (To be clear, this can 
absolutely be a valid reason, especially if the other UAs have 
explicitly said they will not add support or the feature causes some 
other problems too, in terms of either implementation or the health of 
the web.)
