Hi Sailesh, the majority of your amendment was covered by my earlier response, just a quick note on one aspect here: On 2 Jan 2015, at 14:27, Sailesh Panchang wrote: > Amendment to item #5 sent on Dec 31: > "The only instance where scope is needed in a simple data table is > where the row identifier is not in the first column like in "Example > 4: Table with an offset column of header cells". > should read: > "The only instance where scope is needed in a simple data table is > where the row identifier is not in the first column like in "Example > 4: Table with an offset column of header cells if they are marked up > as TD and not TH.

While the use of scope in on a TD element seems possible in HTML4, I wouldn’t consider this as best practice. With HTML5, scope isn’t allowed on TD elements anymore, so I don’t think including this is too relevant and would complicate the message that we try to convey. Thanks again for your suggestions, Eric > > Thanks, > Sailesh Panchang -- Eric Eggert Web Accessibility Specialist Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) at Wold Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
