Space and information have distinct properties. A section of space can  
only be occupied by one single person, while a piece of  
information/explanation like a table summary generally increases its value  
the more people share it.

Hence, a summary that's visible to all becomes more valuable - even to the  
visually impaired -

You can not compare sharing information to sharing space.

Sorry to follow up an off-topic comment (with a fairly obvious statement  
too). I'll go back to lurking.. :)
