In tables (and their linearized version):
1. Titles are needed for references to checkpoints 2.1, 2.2, and 14.3.
2. Text of most of those reference titles includes "Checkpoint x.y: ..."
or one "Guideline 9".
That "Checkpoint x.y: " prefix is missing from 11.2.
3. The row labeled Table Attributes actually refers to the element caption.
3.1. Suggest change to say "Table caption."
3.2. Alternatively [and intimidatingly] expand to include the
accessibility attributes of table
(summary, class, title, ?style?, id),
and its structural descendents, (all of whom have %attrs; attributes,
some of which have accessibility uses) include:
%coreattrs; id, class(es), ?style?, title)
%i18n; lang, xml:lang, dir
%events; [the ten "on..." action scripts, often counter to
accessibility needs]
Table descendent elements (accessibility attributes):
colgroup (span)
col (span)
thead
tfoot
tbody
tr
th (abbr, axis, headers, scope, rowspan, colspan)
tr (abbr, axis, headers, scope, rowspan, colspan)
Few tables make use of these accessibility attributes.
Are there any among the WAI materials?
