Re: HTML5 DL Element vs. WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria

I respectfully disagree with your statement regarding two column tabular
data tables.

Data that is two dimensional belongs in a list (ol, ul, or dl).

Data that is three dimensional makes use of tabular data tables.

The use of two column data tables to format two dimensional data is
semantically incorrect. The two column table structure is only being used
for presentation purposes.

Kind regards,
