Do existing AT implementations make the distinction? How is the distinction conveyed to the user? I'd go with something simpler: Cells that the author wants reported when the user queries another cell for its headers should be marked up as <th>. Is it common that the author wouldn't want these cells to be styled distinctly in the visual presentation? And if it is common, is it better to solve the mismatch by overriding associations or by overriding visual style? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
