The WCAG example seems less than ideal. The cell in question is clearly acting as a row header, and so should be marked up as a <th> instead. Allowing @scope on ordinary table-cells (<td>) when it's only intended to be used for header cells (<th>) doesn't seem to benefit anyone. > I strongly believer the scope=row > (at least) should be allowed otherwise one must additionally provide a class > for the TH element to override the browser styling defaults. The row scope may > be data in addition to a header so I feel it is relevant to have scope for a TD > cell. I don't understand this at all. Why must one put a class on a <th> in order to override the browser default styling? Presumably the intent is to make a header cell that looks just like the other cells. This can be done in the ordinary way by using CSS to just select all the <th> elements. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
