When editing long tables with many columns, the user can lose track of what header coresponds to each column. I would propose to keep the header fixed and have the table in a scrollable div right beneath it. The div would be of configurable height.
I tried to write a hack for this using a scrollable div, but the column widths of the extra header will invariable mismatch those of the table (which depend on user-entered data).
I also left a wishlist at

PS (completely off-topic): the rich editor component used to report bugs doesn't allow Firefox 3 to spell check.

This has languished for a while, but I'd like to put my vote in for this one.
It doesn't have to be as fancy as a scrolling header row, but maybe a parameter such as
editheaderrow="5"
would put the headers in after every 5th row of data when editing only.

I think the best solution would be jqGrid or one of its cousins. Actually, these js libraries usually have a mode to "hijack" an html table as the initial data for a grid. Also, I saw checkins from Crawford recently on
EditRowPlugin, which might address some of these problems (haven't tried it myself yet).
