Tidy is warning that you have tables that should have a "summary" attribute
added to them to comply with accessibility recommendations.
From the C version of Tidy:
The table summary attribute should be used to describe the table
structure. It is very helpful for people using non-visual browsers.
From the HTML 4.01 specification:
Attribute definitions
summary = text [CS]
This attribute provides a summary of the table's purpose and structure
for user agents rendering to non-visual media such as speech and
Braille.
