Presently (not to say it's the appropriate way), many of our data tables
have page headings immediately above the table. To date, we've added table
captions to existing tables, and in some cases, used the immediately
previous page heading as it best describes the table.
I considered add a page heading within the caption tag. It validates via
HTML5 validator, however, the VO screen reader does not read it. Maybe
improper semantics or screen reader snafu. I can style the caption to look
at a heading, to visually eliminate the duplication, but is that truly the
best approach?
