Hi
Marilyn
As the
one that started the last table thread, I would recommend providing us with an
example. Your request, like mine, can be interpreted in many ways.

Here's a simple example. Just two columns, two rows, one set of column heads and row heads within the main cells.
Column One:
Column Head: Objectives Recommended action lines for WHO
and Member States
Cell One:
x-tad-smallerPolicy
/x-tad-smallerx-tad-smaller- Ensure public policies

table headers, thead/tbody, summary tags are structural?
They give structure to tabular data.
I thought they were meant to define the data and were good.
Not when the data in question is not tabular data. If the table is used

Actually, re-reading your example data, I did misunderstand your

Okay. I feel more confident then, if given text like my example. Thanks for the example markup. That does help.
I was beginning to wonder, after the earlier discussion, whether only numeric data could be semantically correct in a table.
