Good luck. The best enhancement I can think of based on what's provided
here in c.i.w.a.stylesheets is to stop doing font-size: 9px; as below. :-)
[color=darkred]

I think the usefulness of this tends to depend on the size of the table.
The default is auto, so for a small table I wouldn't bother.
[color=darkred]

I am looking forward to finding out what "forked" means.
[color=darkred]
