if your row consists of <th>s, then i'd stuff them in a <thead>... after all, that's
what the <th> is for, to specify a header cell...

your <thead> should also contain the <tr></tr> pair, not replace them...

you can find specifc usage guidelines at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.3

i'd avoid accepting their examples as gospel,  however...
