Hi Ian, you wrote: <Hixie> annevk2: that's not the path of least resistance; i, for one, would object strongly to that solution as it has been shown to actually harm users [1] While i think the summary attribute has 1. been abused 2. been incorrectly used 3. been a unecessary time sink for all involved in its presence or lack of in HTML 5. 4. been concentrated on at the expense of other more important accessibility issues. I don't know of any evidence where it has been shown to "harm users" you wrote: <Hixie> i guess i wish the chairs would at least give some guidance on how to proceed agreed, if this would have occured 6 months or a year ago, then a lot less time and effort would have been wasted. -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG Europe Director - Web Accessibility Tools Consortium www.paciellogroup.com | www.wat-c.org Web Accessibility Toolbar - http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.html
