Often you enter sites where tables are (mis-)used for the layout of the page 
and puts loads of menu items and banners around the article you have interest
in. When printing a such dokument you often waste several sheets of paper on
having a menubar printed on paper. Far from every site have decent styles for
priting even in these days.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could view a single table cell, just like yo can with
a frame by selecting "This Frame -> View only this frame" ?

Sure it raises some questions regarding nested tables, whether you should with
the whole nested table or one cell within the nested table. Personally, I guess
I would be fine with any of them and learn where to put the pointer before
viewing a cell.

Would it be possble?

Will commercial sites freak out when their banners are not printed on paper?

For printing, just select the cell and print the selection....

For the others, it's a matter of UI, not layout (you can hook up a new document
containing just that cell using ranges).
