the attached file is a demonstration of sample text, adapted from the 
example provided by "Techniques for WCAG 2.0", which is included in its 
entirety at the following long, possibly wrapping, URI:

and tweaked, through the removal of the "title" attribute defined for 
each 
input element, and the addition of "scope", so as to test:

  1. assistive technologies' (in particular, the state of screen reader) 
     support for the "scope" attribute defined in HTML 4.01 Strict

  2. support for the "tabindex" attribute defined in HTML 4.01 Strict

Title: Geneological Table testing TABINDEX and SCOPE

Geneological Questionnaire Table Excerpt Using
tabindex and scope

The following example was adapted from Techniques for WCAG 2.0.

Note 1: This is a dummy form. There is no explicit submission mechanism, nor is there an actual form to be processed. It is intended to demonstrate navigational and contextualizeing mark-up.

Note 2: the "title" information provided in the original example for each input element has been removed , so as to test support for the scope attribute by assistive technologies, in particular screen readers and self-voicing applications.
