Subject: Gap analysis tables - experiment

Hi Lisa,

We discussed the large tables in the gap-analysis, and I've had a little experiment with a new structure.

Before going too far with this, I thought I'd try it one table 1 in a separate branch, and see if it's going in the right direction:
https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/gap-analysis-table-change/gap-analysis/index.html#secure-web-authentication<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Frawgit.com%2Fw3c%2Fcoga%2Fgap-analysis-table-change%2Fgap-analysis%2Findex.html%23secure-web-authentication&data=01%7C01%7Cead%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7C7769e404e21b4670866608d62a4ca338%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C1&sdata=tcQwAdwgsZKKkpKvO4nzGDYZPsgefpdCqGAvD68aQDo%3D&reserved=0>

The first bit is the same, the changes are just for the table:
-          Each row becomes a heading (4);
-          The user-need goes into a blockquote, which adds a line on the left (and it is written first person, so sounds like a quote);
-          The other cells are put into a definition list structure, so a <dt> tags for techniques, OS etc.
-          The techniques / points in the data cells going into <dd> items.

For people not familiar with DL/DT/DD structures, it is basically a flexible list of stuff with multiple items per "term". Hopefully you can see that in the doc.

I think it works to keep the information on the same screen (I get horizontal scrolling), do others think it works as a better format than the tables?

Kind regards,

-Alastair
