Re: @summary in HTML5

Hi Sam , thanks for the clarification.
I would be more than happy to discuss summary with you, it is an open
item in PF and as a member of both PF and HTML WG have been working
the issue from both sides. That is not to say i speak on behalf of the
PF in the HTML WG.

Will ping you when I have had a chance to discuss more in PF. Although
open in PF it has been pushed to the back lately due to discussion
around HTML5 and alt.

regards
