Is http://www.msg.gouv.qc.ca/documents/standards/accessibiliteVCT.pdf the latest version of the Quebec standard draft? If so, it indeed says: "9. En matière de tableau : a) dans un site Web public, un tableau complexe de données doit comporter un résumé indiqué à l’aide de l’attribut summary ;" WCAG 2.0 itself is syntax-agnostic (format-agnostic even) by design. Since the Quebec standard draft loses this important characteristic of WCAG 2.0, I encourage you to report this a bug to drafters of SGQRI 008. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/Received on Wednesday, 6 January 2010 13:57:46 UTC
