Hello All,

I know that tables shouldn't be used for layout, but anyway,
*if* they are, they should be built with respect to natural flow
of the contents. Information should be ordered logically in the
source code, what is sometimes different from presentational
positioning.

I've get ready a couple of samples at

http://www.sovavsiti.cz/test/html_001_en.html

Could you please review it and check if these samples can't
cause any accessibility issue?

Thanks a lot,

Marek Prokop
