Table/SVG requirements for SC approval

[Nathaniel S Borenstein <nborenst@us.ibm.com>]

These are the requirements for tables in presentations,
as Rich wrote them up and delivered them to the parent TC.  At our
meeting tomorrow, I have been asked to make sure that everyone agrees that
these are complete and correct recommendations for resolving this problem.
 Thanks.  -- Nathaniel

data cells

spans
