I am working on print document that is meant to be the accessibility guidelines
to get our institutional sites Priority 2 compliant. The document is meant to
educate content developers. My team will be doing the user scenario testing,
but I want the examples to illustrate why this is necessary as there is
resistance to this process.

I adapted the accessible table from the W3 to a Canadian context. And had
assumed that it would 'render' properly with a screen reader (not a particular
one), but the markup seems to make no difference.

Here is the code, I would like some input as to what I'm doing wrong... (I've
put it in a notepad file, hence the doc header)
