RE: Calendar markup - review please?

All,

Please read the subject of my post. I'm asking about a *calendar*. I'm 
asking for a *review*.

In which mode? (It doesn't say.)

And I see no entry about "calendar" - only yet another "complicated data 
table" (which actually isn't all that complicated at all - and certainly 
simpler than my calendar implementation).

I repeat: I have read _all_ of the relevant standards. Many, many times.

Sorry, but I'm not looking for suggestions for "how to do table markup".

I've applied all the suggestions I can think of that are *relevant* in 
*this particular case*.

- this is not just a table, it's a *data* table (structure matter)
- it's not just a data table, it's a *calendar* (semantics matter)
- it's not just a calendar but one that is used *for navigation* (usability 
matters)

So I'm not asking for yet more ideas about how to mark up tables, or data 
tables, or "complicated" data tables.

What I'm looking for is a *review* of *what I've done* and how well that 
works.  In practice. Using your own user agent, AT, modes, options - to 
actually *use* that calendar. To actually *use it for navigating* the site.

I'm not looking for theory. I know all of the theory. I've applied all of 
the theory as best I could.

So: how did I do?

Thanks,
