Problem:

CFTABLE and CFCOL have been around for a very long time, but their usefulness has been limited due their lack of CSS support. This ER is to change that.

Option 1:

For CFTABLE and CFCOL, add the following attributes:
id, class and style. These would pass through the id, class and style attributes.

Add height to CFCOL.

Add a new tag called CFCOLHEADER, which would function the same as CFCOL, but be used for column headers and render <th> tags instead of <td>.

Add a new tag called CFROW, which would have the following attributes:
align, width, height, id, class, style, altid, altclass, altstyle, and altrow. Alt would allow you to alternate styles between alternating rows. Altrow would allow you to specify how often to change between the main styles and the alt styles.

Option 2:

For CFTABLE, add the following attributes:
id, class and style. These would pass through the id, class and style attributes.

For CFCOL, add the following attributes:
id, headerid, class, headerclass, style, headerstyle and height. These would pass through the id, class and style attributes.

Add a new tag called CFROW, which would have the following attributes:
align, width, height, id, class, style, altid, altclass, altstyle, and altrow. Alt would allow you to alternate styles between alternating rows. Altrow would allow you to specify how often to change between the main styles and the alt styles.

Option 3:

For CFTABLE and CFCOL, add the attribute passthrough. Passthrough would allow you to add n attributes as needed, including id, class and style, but also other valid HTML attributes for <table> and <td> tags. This would allow you more control over what is rendered.

Add CFCOLHEADER, with the passthrough attribute and other CFCOL attributes, as previously stated in option 1.

Add CFROW, with the passthrough attribute, align, width, height, and altpassthrough.

+1 but don't do this at the cost of anything more useful. This is nice, there are other, more important things. Writing a custom tag or a basic script to do this is trivial, so only do it if you have time to kill.
