• [ ] I'm not convinced that tables without td should be treated as failures of this rule.

Charu

• [ ] Should this be the other way around? All data cells must have an associated header. not sure what assigned means, there is no such requirement as I see. per H63: Using the scope attribute to associate header cells and data cells in data tables H43: Using id and headers attributes to associate data cells with header cells in data tables
• [ ] Per the guideline these are the 2 techniques to associate headers with data cells, some of the passed examples don't do that.

• [ ] Failed Example 1 visually conveys a table header cell with no data cells in its column. I don't think this meets the assumption of this rule: This rule assumes that table header cells have a relationship conveyed through presentation with other cells within the same table.
• [ ] I don't think it is an accessibility problem if a header cell exists without an assigned data cell. I think it would be better if a rule checked that a table data cell has an assigned header cell that exists instead.

• [ ] The description of failed example 3 uses "table element" but it might be more appropriate to use "semantic role of grid" instead.

Mary Jo

• [ ] Seems that folks are finding potential issues with the examples, so once those are resolved, implementation data will have to be re-checked.
