Why does TFOOT fail w3c validation?
Why does http://validator.w3.org/ fail this simple HTML?

Well. So it does! DOH! What a LOT of templates I have to change.
Hmm
My "footers" are calculated after the details are sent (counts, totals, etc). So for I only what know the "footer" is after the "body". So, probably better for me to drop the <tfoot></tfoot> tag and just make them part of the <tbody>.
And in truth, I wouldn't want the totals at the bottom of every page if printed, so another reason to make them <tbody>.
Thanks.
