It's good to see an accessibility article that is ready to accept compromises with the HTML tables versus CSS dilemma. However, I find it quite amusing that a fine accessibility article written with considerable expertise fails in one basic way: the purely decorative images have descriptive alt texts. After the first heading "Table Manners", my Lynx says "Street Sign: Stop". Further down, there's one I like even more: "These data tables generally have headings along the top or down the side, or both. Pink flowers". Yeah :-) Best regards, Jouni
