Moving this to www-archive because I think continuing to discuss this
issue on public-html is a waste of everyone's time.

One thing I think we need to be careful about when discussing
accessibility markup, as well as semantic metadata, is that nothing is
really hidden.
Please understand that the use of the term hidden is very much dependant
on context, and that generally the intended meaning (particularly in the
case of summary) is that the content is hidden from typical user
browsing with a typical browser.
It is irrelevant that the value can be exposed by explicitly hunting for
it in the right location, such as looking at the table properties dialog
in some browsers, or viewing the page source, or that it is exposed by
default by some assistive technology to a small group of users.
