I think a number of people are beginning to wonder whether we'll ever get good adoption and good efficacy if features (like summary) are only used by, visible to, checkable by, people with conformance needs. If a feature is essentially invisible to the average web author, there is a very god chance they'll never check their work in taht area -- and therefore, often get it wrong. So, if the spec. said that summary must be shown in a tooltip or the like, perhaps they'd realize that pid16272 is not terribly helpful... :-( have a great weekend, everyone... -- David Singer Multimedia Standards, Apple Inc.
