More updated HTML techniques for SC 1.3.1

Hi, all.

Over the weekend I updated the following techniques to address
suggestions from the Working Group:

- Using table, tr, and td  elements for tabular information[1]
- Using caption elements to identify data tables (but not layout tables)
[2]


Changes are described in the Status section of each technique.

The tabular infomration technique [1] has now been combined with content
from Using the th element to identify column and row headers in data
tables (but not in layout tables) [3], as suggested by the WG, so I
suggest deleting [3].

Both [1] and [2] should be retitled (suggestions in the Status section).

Today I'll write a technique about Using the table element's summary
attribute to describe the organization of a data table. Will post to the
list when it's done.

Thanks to Loretta and Yvette for additional updates!
