I have reworked the change proposal again, by answering the questions I asked below ... http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/tableSummaryProposal Changes noted below: Leif Halvard Silli, Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:21:59 +0100: > This new proposal is simpler: It allows up to two caption elements, as > long as one of them is pointed to via aria-describedby. No longer necessary - the second caption *is* a table summary. > The proposal > also designates the role of aria-describedby and aria-labelledby > differently. > > (Because ... I consulted the ARIA spec ... and @aria-labelledby > basically can be used to point to a caption element. I am still > interested in this subject though ... It could still be that > aria-labelledby="caption-with-summary" would be more meaningful. **I am > very interested in comments about this.**) Upon reading the specs, I decided once more that the 'table summary' concept belongs to 'aria-labelledby'. [...] > Questions: > > * What about not requiring aria-describedby, as long as the caption > with the 'table summary' appears *after* the other <caption>? > * aria-labelledby vs aria-describedby - see above. See answer above, and on the web page. -- leif halvard silli
