1. Yes - the embedded table isn't even defined as sortable, and unless it has
more columns than its parent, the sortability also isn't inherited. Which is
good.

2. Ok, I'll explain: within a sortable table, I have one column that contains
tables organizing its contents in a visually clear and consistent structure
(this column doesn't need to be sortable). This column's header contains a
table too, which parallels the embedded tables' structure, and whose cells can
thus refer to their counterparts within the tables listed below. A perfectly
reasonable usage.

3. I assume this bug arouses from a logical flaw in programming. If instead of
"sticking a band aid" on it you'll figure out the flaw and "cure the infection
at the root", I'm sure it won't compromise performance, but will more likely
enhance it. Or am I missing something and this isn't a bug at all, but rather a
programmer's intentional "compromise", designed to enhance performance but
assuming nobody will ever need to embedd a table in a header?

4. As I mentioned (maybe I wasn't clear enough), the bug didn't exist before
the sorting button's appearance was changed. A clue to figure out who messed
what up back then?
