And, to be clear, the argument for removing it is that a large sample of uses of @summary on the Web were examined, and most of them were useless, and those that weren't were useful for all users and therefore should have been in the caption element. Therefore, authors and users would be better served by being told to put useful summary information in the caption, and useless summary information nowhere. Is there an equally concise summary of the argument on the other side? -David -- L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ Mozilla Corporation http://www.mozilla.com/
