But I will note that I also pointed out the need to gather data. It's
easy to have an opinion, but we won't know whose opinion is right
until we get some data.

@summary has been specified for over 10 years, so there should be
plenty of data out there to show if it has been a good idea or not.
Wouldn't you agree?

I think the best data collection suggestion so far was made by Philip Taylor on IRC yesterday:
http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-1058

Of course, it wouldn't help unless people agree on a cut-off point. E.g. whether a feature is a failure if the revealed preference of 80% of the sample of the constituency is to route around the feature? 50%, 90%, 99%?

It's also possible that the answer isn't a boolean listens to summary / doesn't listen to summary but depends on the page in which case it would be most interesting to find out how a user decides before listening to the summary whether to listen for it.

In general, yesterday's IRC log from http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090604#l-701 onwards is relevant on this topic.
