However, the reason the scope= attribute was included was not because data cells would not be associated with header cells but because header cells would otherwise be associated with the wrong headers. (I misremembered that.) For instance, following the algorithm of HTML4 in the absense of scope= the "Day 2 ..." header would get "Day 1 ..." as header. I suppose this could be circumvented by requiring that headers for header cells are directly adjacent to those cells. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
