Hehe. Well, if you would call something along the lines of debconf
support in a Debian package of PySysInfo wizard, then yes, otherwise
no, not really. :)

<td> and <th> are always children of <table>, thus td and th classes
inherit any style values from table classes.

The named two browsers obviously work that way, ie. with your CSS
version, <th> elements like the "Device  Received  Sent  Err/Drop"
line of the network usage table gets rendered in a really huge font
instead of 11pt by them.

The CSS is valid and I haven't found anything in the CSS Specification
saying that its deprecated to use table for this either - given its
size that doesn't mean that much though. ;)
Point me to the section in the specs or to some other documentation
pointing out why it shouldn't be done and I'll move the font-size to
td _and_ th classes, but for now I see no reason.

I'll check if they still work without the fixed width table, if so
consider them added. :)
