Hi Sailesh, at Sidar we consider not marking up a list of things as a list to be a violation of 3.6. It doesn't seem to cause a lineraisation problem. Jaws might be applying its own algorithm to the question of how to find a header (when in fact the table doesn't need one) but it probably does violate 3.1 Use style sheets to control presentation and layout, since it is using a tableto control layout. (To know exactly I would have to look at the page, of course). my 2 bits...
