On second review, I have to retract my statement that there is
"nothing objectionable".  The table itself is generally acceptable as
an example of a table.

However, I had skipped over the part where the @summary attribute is
reintroduced, and given an explanatory paragraph.  That is not
relevant to the Issue at hand, and given the current state of the
@summary attribute, should be removed.  If @summary is later
reintroduced as a valid attribute in HTML, the example may be amended.

As well, as a technical detail, a footer for the table should not go
in a cell of the table.  That is an abuse of table semantics.  It
should appear in text surrounding the table.
