Oups...

I would like to correct my RFC with :

<table>
  <tr>
     <th>FirstName</th><th>LastName</th><th>Age</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Olivier </td><td>Deckmyn</td><td>25</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Guido</td><td>Van Rossum</td><td>32</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Linus </td><td>Torvald </td><td>29</td>
  </tr>
</table>

I changed the
    <td>FirstName</td><td>LastName</td><td>Age</td>
to :
     <th>FirstName</th><th>LastName</th><th>Age</th>
