====== 9.1.2. Do not use tags or attributes that are specific to data tables in formatting tables ======

A formatting table should not include tags or attributes that are specific to data tables. 

In other words, the: 
  * ''<caption>'', ''<th>'', ''<thead>'' and ''<tfoot>'' tags must not be used in formatting tables.
  * ''scope'', ''headers'', ''axis'', ''colgroup'' and ''summary'' attributes must not be used in formatting tables.

<note astuce>**Tip**

The role attribute can be used to indicate that a table is a layout table: ''<table role="presentation">''
