We need to challenge authors: * to choose EITHER caption OR summary OR both. * if they use identical captions. * if the summary looks like caption * if they seems to have written "this a layout table" info In short, authors needs help juxtaposing the two things. In general, what one could do for this are: * somehow linking summary to caption; * ways to let author see both simultaneously; * ways to discover tables with caption but not summary; * ways to discover tables with summary but not caption; I will try to offer a RFC 2119 compatible text that seeks accomodate for this. -- leif halvard silliReceived on Saturday, 28 February 2009 17:11:12 UTC
