Some websites use CSS to make a table looking thing even when the data is tabular. Those websites are the ones doing it wrong.
That's the reason.
Unfortunately no bells or whistles such as font and background colour selection - unless I have missed something - but a lot better than nothing.
This blog's tables are fantastic, though; I should probably learn HTML.
Keep them coming....
Tables (for tabular data) are totally fine for accessibility purposes if they're coded correctly - header cells with scope attributes, ideally a caption. Even without those features, as long as they're being used to present data where there's a consistent relationship between everything in each row, and everything in each column, from the start to the end of the table, they're still OK.
As others have said, it's when they're used for visual layout purposes that they're problematic - so ironically today's is one of the most problematic you've published, although the fact that the text reads in the order it appears in the code means that it's still not as terrible as it could be!
So yeah, keep up the good tabling, and be glad you're able to code them: some people who aren't and whose publishing systems won't do it for them end up including screenshots from Word or wherever and that's an accessibility nightmare!
