The format (address, state, zip) is common enough (in the States anyway) that the type of data is implicit. Again, is the example I provide, the AT user is not disadvantaged. Does the question change if it were just a list of names and associated phone numbers? I may be asking about how much content is needed before a table an author used for layout becomes a data table, despite (perhaps) what the author was thinking. I am actually hoping to stay away from this slippery slope since it has been debated for years without satisfactory resolution! > It's possible to guess, certainly, but wouldn't it be better to avoid that? Yes I agree, but I don't care about that! <smile /> What is REQUIRED by 5.1 for conformance to the WCAG on this point?
