Given Benjamin's message about the "axis" attribute:

<http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2008-March/011679

and the fact that we've never needed to use the axis attribute in a
realworld tabular event example, nor has that step been implemented, I've
removed the "Parse the 'axis'..." step.
