RE earlier comments on Lynx and tables -- here is some info from Bobby on how to make 
your tables "readable" for voice output:

http://www.cast.org/bobby3.0/html/gls/g113.html

If this table contains data, have you identified
headers for the table rows and columns?

Future browsers and assistive technologies will rely on the ability to speak, using a 
speech synthesizer, the contents of an table. In order to help these technologies 
correctly voice tables, it is important for authors to mark how table cells correspond 
to particular headers using the the headers and scope attributes for the TD and TH 
elements. For example, 

  1."headers" - The following example shows how to associate header information with 
the     "headers" attribute.  The "headers" attribute specifies a list of header cells 
(row and column     labels) associated with the current data cell.  This requires each 
header cell to have an "id".

2."scope" - The following example associates the same header and data information as 
the      previous example, but uses the "scope" attribute rather than "headers."  
"Scope" must have one      of the following values:  row, col, rowgroup or colgroup.  
Scope specifies the set of data cells     to be associated with the current header 
cell.  This method is particularly useful for simple     tables. This example might be 
rendered by a speech synthesizer as the previous example.

3."axis" - The following example shows how to create categories within a table. 

<CODE SNIPPED>
