Re: About tests 37-41 (headers) *wkey

My use of the word "forbid" may have muddied the question. I'll try again...

I think the intent of Vicente's question is "Does a document that contains 
nested tables conform to the WCAG2?". This is what authors will be asking 
all the time - does my content conform?

My interpretation is that no, it does not conform.

The reason is that nested tables are not valid code and fail technique G134 
so they do not meet SC4.1.1.

Is that the way you see it?
