All,

What is the current thinking on the relationship between layout tables and 
Section 508?  I know that 508 does not presently forbid them, but I remain 
wary.  I have read some information at wisc.edu 
  http://www.doit.wisc.edu/accessibility/online-course/standards/tables.htm#beyond508
that says if they are appropriately linear, there's no problem with layout 
tables because assistive technology can handle layout tables.

What can anyone advise me?  I have a govt. project on which I need to advise 
my client.

Thanks!

Elizabeth
