Yes, you are right, <alt> would be much straightforward. The only
problem is that <alt> is not allowed in HTML tables directly, it has to
be surrounded by <caption> -- it will be then ambiguous whether alt
provides summary for whole table or for caption only.

Uhm, yes I though that I should look on summary issue only. I will put
some more cycles and thought these as well.
