Proposal for UA guidelines:
Tables.
In HTML it is - unfortunately - quite common to use a "table"-
structure to influence text layout. Still tables are use very
often to display tabular information. Therefore I'd like to
propose the following:
- If the user wants this, it must be clear when a table is
presented. This concerns table start/end and borders.
- It must be possible to identify separate cells e.g. by
using a cell delimiter. This allows the user to identify
specific cell values and empty cells.
- It can be very useful to describe the table (begin, end
and out look): e.g.: "The following table consists of 3
columns and 5 rows. The table has borders.'
Best regards,
Jaap
