26.1.3.2 Applying the scope method to all tables

When AccessMethod=Scope, Mif2Go supplies the following WAI attributes for every table:

In addition, AccessMethod=Scope sets [Tables] properties ScopeColGroup, ScopeRowGroup, ScopeCol, and ScopeRow; and sets ColSpanIDs and RowSpanIDs for other straddling header cells. See §27.2 Using the scope method to identify table cells for more information.

Note:   If any of your tables have footer rows, when you use the scope method the resulting HTML might contain some surprises; see §24.3.2.4 Wrapping table row groups.
