3.15.11.1. Forming a table Step 4 reads: "If the table element has no table children, then return the table (which will be empty), and abort these steps." It's not clear what is meant by "table children" as opposed to other kinds of children here. Somewhere around step 18. the current element needs to be advanced to the next child of the table. I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious but I can't see where this occurs in the current algorithm. In the algorithm for processing a row it is not stated which algorithm should be used to parse colspan and rowspan attributes (I assume it is the algorithm for parsing non-negative integers). Data in the <caption> and <colgroup> elements only seem to be included if the elements are correctly placed in the table. It seems more robust to define the UA requirements so that the information in these elements (especially caption) is included whether it appears before or after the row grouping elements. -- "Mixed up signals Bullet train People snuffed out in the brutal rain" --Conner Oberst
