Subject: Make summary attribute on TABLE requried?

Hi Daniel,

David Abrahamson (ISO) has asked the HTML WG to make
the "summary" attribute on TABLE required, rather than
option, obviously in the interest of accessibility.
(see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-html-wg/1997OctDec/0511.html)

Do you have any thoughts on this? 

The rest of the WG has not manifested any
interest.

Thanks for a quick reply,

Ian
