For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The first "the table" is referring to the type (c.f. "the integer") and the second is the variable name (c.f. "x", as in, "the integer x"). Please reopen this if you have a suggestion for a better name for the variable here, or if you think that we don't need to mention that it's a table.

Do you need both the type name and the variable name there? What other type could the variable "the table" be?
