Re: @headitem longer than @item

[Karl Berry]

    We probably need a special command to indicate the `headitemfont'.

I guess so.  

Patrice, I'm guessing this will just be a no-op in texi2html, unless you
somehow use template rows to actually determine table cell widths, in
which case it would just be @b.

Consider this table:

  @multitable {foofoo} {barbar}
  @headitem foofoo @tab barbar
  @item foo @tab bar
  @end multitable

It's obvious that this isn't really correct; I have to say

  @multitable address@hidden address@hidden
  ...

However, I now get a hard-coded dependency between the font used by
@headitem and the font used to indicate the column widths in the
arguments to @multitable, something I feel uncomfortable with -- it's
bad tagging IMHO.
