Re: Tables and the Summary attribute

The bottom line is that the summary text is not visible. So if the  
information needs to be read by all users, don't use summary, use the  
caption element instead.

(A) is for everyone, so it goes in the caption, not the summary.
(B) is not for everyone, as visual users can already see the structure, so  
it goes in the summary.
