Some Mediawiki projects have templates to defined which row in a table should
use an alternative color to improve readability. This is very unpractical this
gets messy as soon as an entry is added in proper order, all the alternate color
row need to be shifted.
Having a build-in alternate row class would allow for css definition whether
colors should alternate or not.
For exemple the class wikitable could have its <tr> elements in the tr.alt class
with a different color, all this defined in css. Every odd tr would be in tr.alt
and every even would not have any specific class, or odd tr would be tr.odd and
even ones tr.even.
