Finn Bock commented on CLK-673:
-------------------------------
Well, I suppose that <caption> is related to accessibility, but <caption> is
also rendered visually:
http://people.apache.org/~bckfnn/table-caption.html
It also seems that specifying a summery on <table> and no caption is a valid
way of making a table accessible:
"""
Authors should therefore take care to provide additional information
summarizing the purpose and structure of the table using the summary attribute
of the TABLE element. This is especially important for tables without captions
"""
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.2
http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/tables.html#adef-summary
It would be better IMO to add a setRenderAccessible(true) or
setRenderHeaders(true) property for controlling the feature.
