Accessability with Xinha

Hi,

I have fallen in love with Xinha and will use that as the WYSIWYG together with the CMS that I'm using.

But as accessability is very important to me when creating websites I'm interested to know how much effort is put in to make Xinha produce accessible code?

Off the top of my head these are some issues that I've noticed that I have not seen being available with Xinha:

* <th> tags for tables (for data tables, not for layout tables. I've seen a ticket about that)
* Summary and <caption> for tables
* I know there is a plugin for <abbr> tags. What about other semantic markup tags, like <acronym>, <dfn>, <kbd>, <samp>, <code>, <cite> etc.?
* title and longdesc attributes for images

Are these easy to implement? If it is it surely would be great, as producing accessible code with Xinha would be importan for many when choosing WYSIWYG editor.

Thanks!

Re: Accessability with Xinha

Found one more issue. The otherwise great FormOperations plugin does not create <LABEL> tags for the forms. These are important to make forms accessible and is part of the WAI web accessibility standard.
