Re: Tables spanning pages

The standard to use for this is not WCAG, but PDF/UA-1.

In the latest PDF/UA-1 Syntax Guide, it specifically mandates that a table spanning multiple pages should be in one <Table> tag. See 4.2.6.2, third bullet.

Stop squabbling about this and instead download the free reference guide from the PDF Association at https://www.pdfa.org/resource/tagged-pdf-best-practice-guide-syntax/
