more than likely, what it shows is not what it would show if the summary had been visible in the first place.

Yup. What about making summary visible only for those tables for which screen readers make it available? It's possible that using the same algorithm that screen readers do for ignoring layout tables would yield something that's acceptable. Do screen readers generally agree on which tables to ignore? Are their table-ignoring algorithms known? Smylers -- Jonnie Appleseed with his Hands-On Technolog(eye)s reducing technology's disabilities one byte at a time
