 Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand this, especially the part about "both
sides", correctly. Could you please explain how exactly would you like this
to look?

 As for "reducing the number of heading lines", I think this can be
achieved simply by removing the line breaks between words in the column
labels. They were added for compatibility with the previous version but
it doesn't look very good IMHO. We've removed these line breaks for now,
please let us know if you prefer the latest version or if we should revert
to the previous one.

 We've removed the lines for now, please let us know if it is better now.
Personally I think it would be better to have the lines but, indeed, in
lighter colour. Unfortunately this is not immediately possible (the
relevant attribute is XHTML and not HTML3 which is what we currently
support) but we'll add it so that you could specify the colour you prefer
(or just keep the lines hidden, of course).

 Sorry about these problems, they were due to concurrent changes to LMI
sources while the HTML summary generation code was written, so mismatch
appeared between html.xsl and tab_delimited.xsl. This is fixed now and the
problems above shouldn't exist any more.

 Thanks again for your feedback,
