[lmi] wxHTML table header alignment

Here's an example where '<th valign="bottom"' doesn't do what I'd like
(using wx-2.8.9 with no patches). With a default-width html window, the
seventh and eighth columns are not bottom aligned. If I narrow the html
window until it requires a scrollbar, then only the second, third, fifth,
and ninth columns are bottom aligned; the first four columns then look
something like this, as closely as I can depict them in a monospace font:

                           Guar.
                           Base.
  Net.              Guar  Death.
Outlay Specified Account Benefit   [other columns elided for simplicity]
          Amount   Value

In the columns that aren't bottom aligned, there's an extra space at the
end of each "row" except the last, which I've indicated with '.' above.
That extra space isn't a big problem; I mention it in case it helps to
explain why those headers aren't bottom aligned.

I'd like these column headers to be bottom-aligned, regardless of the
width of the html window they're displayed in. Is there a way to achieve
that by writing this html code differently?
