Hello list,
	I believe I should first introduce myself. My name is Carlos Licea, I'm 
Mexican and I've just started to code in KHTML. Right now I'm trying to fix the 
behavior for when the colspan = 0 and the rowspan = 0. No succes so far the 
code which needs to be fixxed is render_table, especifically 
RenderTableSection::addCell.
	The behavior is a little odd for my taste so I haven't been able to fix it, 
yet. What I can think of is: a)Save the column or the row number and whenever 
a new cell is inserted check whether it inserted new columns/rows and update 
them properly if needed. b)save the cells for a posterior insert, when the 
cells are all loaded (and hence now knowing the amount of cells in every row 
and every column) call the new method to assign the cell to the proper places.
	So far I tried a) but without luck. Any ideas?.

	Besides that I'd like to also propose myself for a Google Summer of Code 
project, especifically: "DOM3 XPath Level 1 and/or DOM selectors API support in 
KHTML", sounds interesting enough and at the same time the expected behavior 
is well documented in the respective standars ( http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/ 
and http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-api/ ) . I know that I have to present my 
proposal formaly and later they, the proposals, will be voted on.
	I've been a student in previous years for Marble and KPresenter (with good 
results so far), so I'm kind of aware of the procedures.
	KHTML is the kind of preject I think I like, without having to care for user 
interactions and yet with lots of posibilities to explore that at some point 
the user will notice.
	What do you guys think? is it a good enough topic for a GSoC (I believe so, 
since it was suggested in the techbase GSoC page).
	Carlos
