Wish for table sub-headers.
Just like sub-headlines further divide a text under a headline, sub-headers would further divide a table under a header.
I currently simulate that with a cell spanning all row and manually setting background color like header but toned down :

It might look better with a side column showing the extent of the section, but that would load the code and have a unwanted cell border.
Ideally it should be only as a side column (and not across), which would allow better header hierarchy, but unfortunately :
- Browsers have poor support for narrow, vertical text.
- Vertical text is hard to read.
- It eats space away from main content.
Syntax could be like :
^ Normal header ^
| Data |
^~ Sub-header ^
| Data |
^~~ Sub-sub-header ^
| Data |
