Description

There are some accessibility issues that need to be addressed, most of which will help Quarks integrate more nicely with screen readers. For example,

• Complex data tables must have a summary or an aria-describedby which references a summary.
• For a complex data table, th and td elements must be related via scope or headers.
• For a data table (i.e., the table tag does not contain a WAI-ARIA 'presentation' role), identify headers for the table rows and columns.
• Html element must have lang and/or xml:lang attribute.
• There must be a non-empty title element in the head of the document.
• Provide a text alternative for ASCII art.

These changes will be based on the WAI-ARIA standard.
