Excellent idea. Steven, I can accept the statement that there -are- cases where linearized tables don't provide satisfactory access -- in fact, I accidentally made one myself on a test design for the Harvey Mudd College web page once -- but I'd like a concrete example or three that we could look, and ponder how exactly we could convey context better. Could you identify some publicly accessible pages that have that problem? Is Yahoo one of them? -- Kynn Bartlett mailto:kynn@hwg.org President, HTML Writers Guild http://www.hwg.org/ AWARE Center Director http://aware.hwg.org/
