    This sourceThe HTML Living Standard's table model, which defines a table as cells aligned on a two-dimensional grid of slots (sect. 4.9.12.1) and specifies the algorithm assigning header cells to data cells (sect. 4.9.12.2); as a Living Standard it carries no edition year and should be cited by its last-updated date (4 September 2026) or a consulted date, not by a publication year.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
