Hi Barry/Donal,

FWIW the PDF aspect of Joe's points that he raised in the Samurai Errata 
are a bit a no brainer. It's giving bad advice about a more subtle part 
of the spec (use of @summary which is very useful for screen reader 
users in particular to describe the purpose of a data table) that I take 
issue with.

Also Accessibility issues aside, PDF isn't exactly a closed format. 
Proprietary would probably be more accurate.[1]

Cheers

Josh
