Subject: Re: [dita] 1.3 Issue: Use Full CALS Table/DocBook CALS Tables

Exactly the research and consideration I had in mind: I would definitely look to Paul's expertise here. My primary requirements, based on past and current clients, are: 1. Provide a well-defined way to capture and render table notes, both notes that apply to a table as a whole and footnotes from specific cells. It may be that this requires something specific that is not provided for in CALS directly. 2. True table footers as Paul defines them. In a Publishing context, I think this is more common than in a tech doc context, where I would agree they are an edge case. For example, table footers are common in financial information where a footer might contain running totals.
