EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. 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.

Well OK, you're the expert, but I read it several times without figuring that out. Do you need both the type name and the variable name there? What other type could the variable "the table" be?
