What exactly is the point of the <tbody> tag? Can one table consist of more than one pair of these tags?

I think:
<thead> is all the column headings, i.e. the first row of most tables
<tbody> is the data under those headings
so technically if you need two tbodies then you must have changed column headings, which technically is another table.
Or wasn't that what you had in mind?
<thead> is all the column headings, i.e. the first row of most tables
<tbody> is the data under those headings

My question is whether it is legal to do:
<table> <thead> <tr><td>Heading</td></tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>Body 1</td></tr> </tbody> <tbody> <tr><td>Body 2</td></tr> </tbody> </table>

it validates in xhtml 1.0 strict.
Also http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/ht...les/tbody.html
It refers to needing 'one or more' tbody elements in a table.
So I guess you can.
edit: see also http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.3 - which also refers to one or more

Has this replaced <TD></TD>? If not when do you use one over the other?
Thanks,

tbody is for grouping td tags.
so in a data table, your column headings would be in a thead tag, the main body of the td cells in a tbody, and the footer info in a tfoot tag. Or something like that anyway.

The TBODY element defines a group of data rows in a table.
