RE: Tables (height, width, etc.)

I ended up revamping my table structure, so that the cells in the right
hand side were part of the top table. It's sort of taking a different road
than my initial idea, but, it actually works out a bit cleaner anyway. Less
verbage (or taggage, or whatever.) <shrug>
