Great job guys, it only took 11 years (plus however long it takes to get this into IE/Chrome/Opera…) to finally solve the problem of table headers in CSS: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2002May/0153.h...

It's already implemented in Chrome (behind a flag, but it is there), and thereby soon in Opera. Perhaps even Safari. As for IE, yeah, you are going to have to resort to alternative solutions.

Then again, if implemented properly, the lack of sticky positioning should not break the usability, only enhance it whenever present.

Chrome (really Blink)'s implementation was inherited from Safari's implementation from before Blink forked from WebKit.
