Agreed.  That's straight from the WCAG, and if warning is wrong then the
fault is with the guidelines, not with the tool checking them.

But it should do as AccessValet does, and offer the user the ability
to mark the guideline as satisfied or (as in the case of summary for
a layout table) Not Applicable.  That is, of course, after issuing the
warning.
