After that research can be done to see how people solve these issues and what the best way for HTML is to address them. See also: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Jun/1052.html A use case that could support the inclusion of summary= might be: "Being able to briefly describe the contents of a table in a way that people who have difficulty in understanding the table can access it, but that it's by default not visible." Another use case might be: "Being able to give an indication to the user agent in some way that the table is not a data table but intended for layout so that it doesn't try to extract meaning out of it." I'm not sure if this use case is appealing though given that we don't want people to use tables for layout, but it's just an example. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
