TBODY
Description
The TBODY element encloses a series of table row definitions and
specifies the defaults for all the rows in this group.
Table rows are grouped inside the
content into at most one ,
at most one ,
and at least one TBODY sections, in that order.
Depending on the capabilities of the browser, this sectioning can be used to
repeat table head and foot rows when breaking tables across page
boundaries, or to provide fixed headers above and footers below
a scrollable body panel, or other similar rendering schemes.

Variations
The TBODY element is a part of the latest table proposal.
This TBODY element is new and not widely implemented.
Both the starting and ending elements are optional for this element.
This implies that a TABLE with only one TBODY does not require
the TBODY element since the first TR element not inside a THEAD
or TFOOT but inside a TABLE will imply the TBODY content.
This also allows this proposal to be backwards compatible with
existing documents which have a simple TABLE element whose content
consists of only a series of row and data elements.
The table proposal states that a browser may display
ALIGN=justify the same as the default
ALIGN=left if it lacks support for text justification.
The CHAR and CHAROFF attributes are used when ALIGN=char.
CHAR specifies a single character to be used for alignment, and
defaults to the decimal point in the current language.
CHAROFF specifies the offset, in the DIR direction, to the first
occurrence of the CHAR character on each line. If a line doesn't
include the CHAR character, it is to end at the CHAROFF position.
The default value for CHAROFF is either 50% or whatever will cause
the CHAR characters in all cells with a declared CHAR in a column to align.
The default units is pixels, but may be specified by a suffix on the number.
The standard defined units suffixes include:
pt=points,
pi=picas,
in=inches,
cm=centimeters,
mm=millimeters,
em=em units,
px=screen pixels.
In addition the suffix of a percentsign may be used to specify the
percentage offset within the cell.
The VALIGN attribute defines the vertical alignment of the cell contents.
The ALIGN, CHAR and CHAROFF attribute values may be inherited from
other table elements in the following order:
cells < columns < column groups < rows < row groups < default.
The VALIGN, LANG and DIR attribute values may be inherited from
other table elements in the following order:
cells < rows < row groups < columns < column groups < table < default.
