Actually, thead and tbody have no direct significance for
accessibility. They provide a semantic differentiation of the
content, and provide a hook for different styling, as you have
seen for "striped". Also note, although you can have many <tbody>,
you can only have at most one <thead>, and at most one <tfoot>.
Looking at Summary of BlockingDeque methods again, we have what might
logically be a thead in the middle of a table, and the law of "only
one thead, and only at the beginning" might be yet another hint that
the html gods want us to split this table. This could become a nested
table with two rows, one for "first" and one for "last", each of which
contains a subtable with a thead.
I can investigate that.
I would ask, why is this materially different from a new left-most
column in a single table, but I guess one response would be that the
subtables could be striped, which would give visual consistency with
similar tables.
