The following consensus recommendation of the HTML A11Y Task Force (with objections) is hereby referred to the HTML Working Group pursuant to the Task Force consensus procedures at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/consensus-procedures.html Recommendation: ISSUE-32 Table-Summary RESOLUTION: The HTML-A11Y Task Force supports the change proposal at http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Summary_Change_Proposal_Nov_18,_2009 to reinstate table summary as conforming and not +obsolete. We adopt this recommendation even as we continue engineering work on possible enhancements to table summary. However,+any enhancements we might propose would only elaborate on this proposal and, most particularly, would not remove the support +for author provided text as has been present in HTML4. Thus this recommendation serves as our baseline of table summary support. Final Vote: A Call for Consensus was issued via email: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010May/0053.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010May/0054.html One objection was logged against this proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010May/0055.html Further comments and discussion in email on this resolution can be found at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010May/0069.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010May/0065.html The Task Force approved this resolution without further objection during its regular teleconference on Thursday 6 May: http://www.w3.org/2010/05/06-html-a11y-minutes.html Janina Sajka & Mike Smith, Task Force Co-Facilitators -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Chair, Open Accessibility janina@a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org Chair, Protocols & Formats Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/wai/pf World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
