Al, I have just re-read your status report and appreciate it very much. The report makes it clear how far we have progressed, and which issues remain to be resolved. One aspect that could be corrected: SCOPE needs to be added to both TH and TD, since TD elements can act as row headers. This should not be a problem, since if I recall correctly, TH and TD share the same element and attribute definitions in the DTD. Also, your discussion of searching for map areas within OBJECT is ambiguous. The basic functionality requirement is that (1) if SHAPES is specified, a visual user agent (with graphics enabled) will search for anchors with COORDS attributes, specified in the content of OBJECT, which will define the areas of the image map. In all other circumstances, visual user agents (with graphics enabled) should ignore the content of object. (2) Non-visual user agents, (or visual user agents with graphics disabled) always render the content of OBJECT. Note that these rules are implicit in the September draft, and may have been clarified in the October draft, which I have not had time to read. I regret having to disagree with you in respect of the table issues. Regards, Jason.
