TFOOT element

Something I've always wondered, and this seems as good a place as any to ask
it...

"A TABLE may have one TFOOT, which must follow the optional THEAD and
precede the required TBODY."

All sites that talk about TFOOT say similar things.

I can see the theory here, it's so if you have a large TBODY then the TFOOT
will display while the TBODY is still loading.

However, that's of minimal benefit to me, I'm more interested in using TFOOT
as a semantic markup and an extra style-hook.  Due to the nature of
server-side code I often find it much more convenient to put the TFOOT after
the TBODY, rather than before it.  E.g. if you've been adding values up for
a "totals" row - it's a pain to make the totals row appear before the main
body of the table.

Is this considered harmful?  All browsers I test in seem fine with it.

cheers
