According to Success Criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships), providing a caption and/or summary can improve the usability of a table in different ways. A caption element titles the table and is seen by all users. A summary attribute (on the table element) provides additional information for users requiring assistance, who may be reading the table cell-by-cell and therefore cannot immediately grasp the concept of the table's organisation as a whole.
This example demonstrates correct usage of a caption element. A notice should be emitted to remind authors that the caption should serve its purpose.
