## CAUTION: NOT TESTED
for file $(find . -name "*.html)
do
  cat $file | sed s!<table!&\ summary="Automatically_added"!g > \
  /tmp/add.html 

  cat /tmp/add.html > $file
done

This should do the trick (UNTESTED!!!!), if you have a Unix box.
I am not sure that the
spaces in the sed command work. See the man.
Save your files before trying, in case I goofed, or
try it on a copy !!!
