vertical alignment of margindata

vertical alignment of margindata

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi,

apologies for the slightly silly example, but I hope it shows my 
problem: from processing an xml file, I have material which is best 
typeset in some sort of table environment (I think). It also has some 
sort of sectioning mechanism which is displayed as margindata. If you 
typeset the example, you can see that these margindata are aligned to 
the bottom line of the table. Is there any way to make them align to the 
top? Bonus points if they are aligned with the content of the first 
table row (and not with the top border of the table).

Thanks and all best

Thomas
