The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'ISSUE-32: how to provide a summary of a table, e.g. for unsighted navigation? - Straw Poll for Objections' (HTML Working Group) for Gregory Rosmaita. --------------------------------- Objections to the Change Proposal to reserve the summary attribute for summarizing the purpose of the table and any trends that might be obvious from viewing the table visually ---- We have a Change Proposal to reserve the summary attribute for summarizing the purpose of the table and any trends that might be obvious from viewing the table visually. If you have strong objections to adopting this Change Proposal, please state your objections below. Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it. Objections: i support the concept, but with summary not as an attribute, but as an element, as explained in the following change proposal which was not included in this survey: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/summary_element --------------------------------- Objections to the Change Proposal to Make the table summary attribute fully conforming in HTML5 ---- We have a Change Proposal to Make the table summary attribute fully conforming in HTML5. If you have strong objections to adopting this Change Proposal, please state your objections below. Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it. Objections: why wasn't the following change proposal included in this survey: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/summary_element --------------------------------- Objections to the Change Proposal to Drop the summary="" attribute ---- We have a Change Proposal to drop the summary="" attribute. If you have strong objections to adopting this Change Proposal, please state your objections below. Keep in mind, you must actually state an objection, not merely cite someone else. If you feel that your objection has already been adequately addressed by someone else, then it is not necessary to repeat it. Objections: 1. summary is an essential tool for non-visual and limited visual access to data contained in TABLE; 2. summary as an attribute is insufficient because it does not support structured content, such as <span lang="xx"> for bi-lingual tables, as well as indicating to the user that the table uses structured markup and a guide to that structured markup why wasn't the following change proposal included in this survey: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/summary_element These answers were last modified on 13 October 2010 at 17:20:55 U.T.C. by Gregory Rosmaita Answers to this questionnaire can be set and changed at http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/40318/issue-32-objection-poll/ until 2010-10-21.
