I would want a tool to do more than just flag every table as something to look at. I can look at every table without a tool telling me to do it again. I need a tool to flag those tables that are data tables that are missing the markup. Or better yet, identify those tables that are mixing data with layout tables. For example, columns or rows that are empty, but with a different colored background, used to create a visual spacing look, make table reading very confusing. Regards, Phill
