Pete asked because of "accessibility purposes". I just wanted to point
out that chart data does not necessarily originate from one table or one
contiguous area in one table. I may have misunderstood his request
though.

IMHO there are no special accessibility aspects except the fact that
various elements of a chart may pull their data from different regions
of a document.
