For what it’s worth, except for the broken last row, I like this and
find it readable.  It is too bad there is no way to make it more
compact so more rows can fit on a screen or page.

The ideal, to delimit the header without appearing busy, would be to
just have a thin horizontal rule separating the header from the
remaining rows[1].  Vertical rules are almost never a good idea.
Maybe frame="topbot",grid="none",options="header" would be a good
approximation.
