http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5823 --- Comment #4 from James Graham <jg307@cam.ac.uk> 2008-07-02 09:15:50 --- Joshue, arguing that this bug should not be closed because it is tantamount to ignoring an accessibility need is missing the point somewhat. Hixie's statement in comment #1 is basically an assertion that there doesn't exist (a significant population of) tables that meet the criteria: 1) Use mixed header/data cells 2) Cannot be cast into an equivalent, but simpler, form that does not have mixed header/data cells This bug is only an accessibility issue (or an issue at all) if those two statements are actually true. In particular 1) alone is not sufficient since a table that met 1) alone could be recast into a form that didn't used mixed header/data cells which would presumably be more accessible (since, per 2) it would be simpler and hence easier to understand for more people including those without visual access to the table). Therefore if you want this bug or bug 5822 reopened, I suggest that you present real-life examples of tables that meet the criteria 1) and 2) above. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
