RE: User agent support of SUMMARY attribute in tables

Isn't this issue analogous to that of including an empty alt attribute
(alt="") for images that are purely decorative (and yes, I'm aware that
there is a point of view that says all images convey some information even
if it's not intended as such by the author). 

summary="" for layout tables seems an ideal solution to me but then I don't
use AT.

If it's really that much of an issue for the author then build pages without
using layout tables. Simple.
