--- Comment #8 from Devarshi Pant <devarshipant@gmail.com> ---
Steve,
Would it be possible to include one of the aria methods (label / describedby
etc.) in Section 4.9: Tabular Data
[http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/tabular-data.html#table-descriptions-techniques]
thanks,
Devarshi

Change Description:none

The HTML5 specification provides
> [1] a method to expose an accessible name for a table that JAWS uses to
> label a table in the table list i.e. the provision of a caption.

Also the
> aria-label may be used in addition to the methods described by Josh in this
> bug thread.

All of the methods described (apart from use of summary)are
> conforming in HTML5.
