The proposal, or the vote text?
Do you think this would be ok?:
What do you think HTML5 should say about making complex data tables
more accessible?
( ) HTML5 should encourage authors to use the summary="" attribute
that was introduced in HTML4.
( ) The text currently in the HTML5 spec is fine.

( ) The text currently in the HTML5 spec is mostly fine, but should in
addition make summary="" conforming for authors (without
encouraging it over other options).
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tabular-data.html#table-descriptions
( ) Something else, described below.
If you said "something else", please describe it here: [_____]
I think if we have these options we should definitely also include three
little 150-word essays that argue each case, so that people who aren't
familiar with the issues can read up on them before voting.
