This failure relates to:
This document describes a failure caused by use of the HTML pre
element to markup tabular information. The pre element
preserves only visual formatting. If the pre element is used to
markup tabular information, the visually implied logical relationships
between the table cells and the headers are lost if the user cannot see the
screen or if the visual presentation changes significantly.
Instead, the HTML table element is intended to present tabular
data. Assistive technologies use the structure of an HTML table to present
data to the user in a logical manner. This structure is not available when
using the pre element.
