If this is does become the agreed-upon case, I think people would rather see both
elements abolished and replaced by a single element which can mean both.  Mostly
because, it's unintuitive if a <thead/> is a footer.

Maybe something like <trunning/> would be the way to go, but I'm sure someone
can come up with a better name than that.  Having the word "running" in the
name is good, though, because it means people like Microsoft have less excuses
when they fail to make it run across pages. :-)
