Re: [techs] Table Summary Tests (111, 112, 113, 114, 203)

The guideline/SC/level is still open to change on all the tests. This one 
looks like it will change for sure.

There's a section in the test document that describes the guideline/SC and 
level the test maps to. If the test becomes optional, how about I'll put it 
there?

There's been a lot of discussion regarding tables so I may have missed that 
resolution. Have you got a link handy?

Yes, it looks like we need one or the other, not both.

Ooops, I've left off "English". The summary must be greater than 10 
characters if the text is English. It will change for other languages.

"Purpose and structure of the table" is the language used in the HTML spec 
(and in the techniques doc).
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#adef-summary

It would be helpful to clarify what that means but I think that should go in 
the techniques.

Yes, thanks for picking that up.
