Ah. Sorry. You are right. It could. But to me that is a pretty ugly work around. I worry about authorabilty and confused functionality (caption and summary serve different proposes). Simon, you are a member of the PF working group. Have you discussed with them whether your solution provides the needed accessibility functionality? If so, what was their response? The HTML and PF working groups should be working together, reaching higher, and seeking ways of advancing accessibility for people with disabilities. I'm not sure that your idea would do it, but it certainly should be discussed. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
