Would <details> act as some of kind of structured verbose descriptor? I think that could be needed. However, we have our work cut out just convincing the current administration of the need for a simple verbose descriptor like @summary, never mind one with even greater capability. I am for the idea if this is the case, but only on the caveat that @summary is reinstated or added back to the specification as a valid way to describe a complex table and/or provide supplementary information that is still valid /while/ the new method, <detail>, is the recommended method.
