What would be the harm of having a spec-endorsed way of flagging a table as a layout table if client software reliably flattened thusly flagged layout tables out of the data that gets exposed to AT users (that is, linearized the table so that cell contents would still be exposed)? Also, doesn't the ARIA spec already have role=presentation exactly for this purpose? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
