Moving this to www-archive because I think continuing to discuss this issue on public-html is a waste of everyone's time.

Please understand that the use of the term hidden is very much dependant on context, and that generally the intended meaning (particularly in the case of summary) is that the content is hidden from typical user browsing with a typical browser. It is irrelevant that the value can be exposed by explicitly hunting for it in the right location, such as looking at the table properties dialog in some browsers, or viewing the page source, or that it is exposed by default by some assistive technology to a small group of users. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
