Ask HN: Isn't it strange that TFOOT must be placed between THEAD and TBODY?

In an HTML <table>, the TFOOT element must be placed between THEAD And TBODY. http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/tables/tfoot.html. What could be the reason behind this?

So that if the tbody is set up with its own scroll bar, the initial parts of the tbody can appear between the thead and the tfoot before the tbody has finished downloading.

Note: <tfoot> must appear before <tbody> within a table, so that a browser can render the foot before receiving all the rows of data.<p>^^I saw that on my first google search.
