On the other hand the fact that they were using a table reflected a  
disconnect between the Accessibility stuff they were calling for, and  
their own practice. (This is not that uncommon - unfortunately even many  
accessib ility organisations don't have especially good accessibility -  
the people who are working hard on it for others are not necessarily able  
to spend their time on their own organisation's marketing...)
