> It is very common for HTML tables to include a header (<thead>) and/or footer (<tfoot>) without using <tbody>.  Modern browsers simply supply an implicit <tbody>..</tbody> around all the unparented rows in a table.  `shr' does not handle this common case correctly.  Below is an example with <thead> but not <tbody>.  It prints the header, but then subsumes it again inside the derived body, printing the header again in a single cell.  
> 
> The relevant function which should handle this is `shr--fix-tbody'.   The included patch to this function simply avoids including `thead` and `tfoot` children in the implicit body.

Thanks.  I don't see any experts chiming in, so if you are confident
in the patch, and it doesn't fail the existing tests, please install
on the emacs-30 branch, and thanks.  Bonus points for adding a test
for this case.
