[whatwg] Now there is table-element with predetermined quantity of column.But sometimes we need to visualize three tables(for example, database tables) as one table:first table contains names of rows, second table contains names of columns (this table determine quantity of columns), third table contains data.New html-element: table-dim

Woha, please put the subject in the subject field, not the full proposal.

Anyway, I agree with Preston, making 3 roundtrips to the server seems 
quite suboptimal. I would would instead try to integrate the data 
attribute from <datalist> and <select> elements.

Microsoft has some stuff that deals with streaming data into tables (and 
I'll make a post in a second regarding a related idea I have). You 
should take a look at that.
