Re: Why Table Layout in GWT?

Ok, I won't start another "table vs. tableless layout" war. There are a lot of resources about it on the web.

My point here is simple: if the developer wants to use table layout, for whatever reason, at least the table should behave as expected according to the W3C recomendations, which states:

If a table is to be used for layout it must be marked with the attribute role="presentation" for a user agent to properly represent the table to an assistive technology and to properly convey the intent of the author to tools that wish to extract tabular data from the document.

Source: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/tabular-data.html#the-table-element

In other words, tables for layout should be marked as such. Table layout widgets should consider this.
