   Lets be very careful that we are not writing to the current batch of user agents (including AT).   They have many quirks as well as good features.
Sailesh:
Any concern with  what I suggested? ... about  title on table being used for  caption when author does not want a visible caption? Also see separate mail on increasing scope of title for accessibility. Title is  supported on almost all html elements so why not expand its usage to benefit accessibility? 
I have looked at current browsers and AT and am suggesting  enhanced support.
