Hello Everyone, I have drafted a Change Proposal for HTML ISSUE-32. Summary: The current editor's draft lacks a valid and conforming way to provide a non-visual, explicitly associated, programmatic, table summary mechanism for users who cannot see the visual rendering of a table. HTML5 currently makes the summary attribute obsolete. It recommends against using the summary attribute. This change proposal: * Makes the summary attribute valid and conforming. * Requires user agents to make the summary attribute visible on demand with some type of a preference or switch in the user agent/browser. * Replaces current spec text with suggested text. Full proposal is at: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/SummaryAttribute20100222 Ideas for improvement are most welcome. Thanks. Best regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
