or so one would think -- i have long maintained that if a table's 
content or dimensions change as a result of a script then that 
script is correspondingly responsible for communicating changes in 
content and dimension by updating the summary value for the table
and assigning it an "assertive" politeness level, but developers 
have continually told me that it is an unfair burden on authors of 
script-mutatable tables
