Ah, yes, you're right. And particular arrangements of tables might also lead to difficulties - if, say, the effect you were looking for consisted of some unusual table manipulations (http://tailsteak.com/archive.php?num=4).
However, the effect I was looking for in this case was the <a title="..."> effect I'd seen used on someone's blog to make footnotes (mouse-over for demonstration) () (actual link) (http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/), so I didn't have too much problem.
