Here's a mixed-news data-point. My star example in 1996 was the timetable for the California Zephyr train route on the U.S. Amtrak service. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2007May/att-0083/czsched.htm As it turns out, this train still runs and the timetable layout is still in the "overlaid" category that defeats markup with 'scope' alone. http://tinyurl.com/6nfwg BUT, a) the timetable is now only available in PDF these days, so it's not an example of accessible or inaccessible HTML. AND b) the page from which you download the print-image PDF also sports a trip-planner interactive application. This is arguably equivalent facilitation. I've been in the habit of telling people that such a feature is an above-equal alternative. Al At 10:56 AM -0400 6 06 2007, Gregory J.
