I'm sure any HTML author out there who uses tables to design his/her pages has wanted to add some sort of column divide.. or something.. vertically between 2 sections of page. Until now, however, the only way of doing this has been defining a cell border (with much fuss) or simply adding a column of pipe ('|') symbols, because the W3C has been kind enough only to give us So, where is <vr>? Why can we have a horizontal rule but not a vertical one? This injustice must stop, and the introduction of this new tag would surely solve layout problems.
