I know it's a little off-topic, but what is the origin of the tag name "TD" used in HTML table markup?
"TH" seems like it should stand for "Table Header" and "TR" for "Table Row", but what about "TD"?

<td>: The Table Data Cell element. The <td> HTML element defines a cell of a table that contains data.
The <td> tag defines a standard data cell in an HTML table. An HTML table has two kinds of cells: Header cells - contains header information (created with the <th> element)
<tr>: The Table Row element. The <tr> HTML element defines a row of cells in a table. The row's cells can then be established using a mix of <td> (data cell) and <th> (header cell) elements.
Looking at the HTML spec, it seems that it's an abbreviation for "table data cell", whereas th is an abbreviation of "table header cell".
