At our regular HTML-A11Y Teleconference on Thursday 29 April: http://www.w3.org/2010/04/29-html-a11y-minutes.html I was requested to draft and circulate resolution language implementing our consensus guidance to the HTML-WG regarding ISSUE-32 "Table-Summary," http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/32 as agreed in our teleconference. This email provides this draft and serves as our Call for Consensus on this question. Please expect a vote on the resolution at our upcoming teleconference on Thursday 6 May. Suggested edits, objections, additional comments, and votes by Task Force members unable to attend the Thursday teleconference may be logged by responding to this message no later than 23:59 Boston Time Friday 7 May (03:59Z Saturday 8 May). Candidate Resolution RESOLUTION: The HTML-A11Y Task Force supports the change proposal at http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Summary_Change_Proposal_Nov_18,_2009 to reinstate table summary as conforming and not +obsolete. We adopt this recommendation even as we continue engineering work on possible enhancements to table summary. However,+any enhancements we might propose would only elaborate on this proposal and, most particularly, would not remove the support +for author provided text as has been present in HTML4. Thus this recommendation serves as our baseline of table summary support. -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Chair, Open Accessibility janina@a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org Chair, Protocols & Formats Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/wai/pf World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
