    Hi Guys,
    
    Just a quick question here: is it, from an A11Y perspective absolutely 
    unacceptable to have embedded tables? If the application is able to 
    activate the embedded object in-place and the activated context is 
    sufficiently accessible...
    
    Also from a file-format perspective, the structural information would be 
    available, if the embedded table object is ODF.
    
    I understand, that this is not very lightweight. I would like to know 
    whether it has to be ruled out completely from an A11Y point of view.
    
    All the best,
    /lars
