I'm curious.  Could a speech synthesizer make sense out of a table
that was created with <PRE> instead of <TABLE> and it's associated
elements?  In other words, could a blind person figure out what row
and column a particular cell was in and what that position meant?  I
think the methods discussed recently would probably be more understood
by a blind reader than a strict row and column format, especially if
the labels A1, B1, etc., were used, as some of us have discussed, although
the row and column format would probably appeal more to the sighted.
