    You might find the documentation to the 'booktabs' LaTeX package
    of interest. This doesn't tell how to design the UI (nor the back-
    end), but it tells you how high quality, beautiful tables should
    *look*. I've learned a lot from this documentation. (And no, we
    can't expect users to be expert typographers; that's exactly *why*
    sensible defaults for table layout/presentation is so important.)

    I've put up a PDF of the documentation at
