		<description><![CDATA[Real world scenario: A penguin walks into a bar... Hang on, wrong meeting.
Ok, here&#8217;s the deal: Consider the following HTML snippets, each containing a table of data that has been quoted from an earlier publication. The only difference is how the source is referenced. Is there one that stands above the others? Why?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These samples are structurally complete, but totally stripped to retain focus on the placement of the citation.</p>
<h4>Example 1</h4>
<pre class="code"><code>
&lt;table summary=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;caption&gt;&lt;/caption&gt;
	&lt;thead&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
			&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
			&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/thead&gt;
	&lt;tfoot&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td colspan=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Published by &lt;cite&gt;......&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/tfoot&gt;
	&lt;tbody&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
</code></pre>
<h4>Example 2</h4>
<pre class="code><code>
&lt;blockquote&gt;
	&lt;table summary=&quot;&quot;&gt;
		&lt;caption&gt;&lt;/caption&gt;
		&lt;thead&gt;
			&lt;tr&gt;
				&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
				&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
				&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
			&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;/thead&gt;
		&lt;tbody&gt;
			&lt;tr&gt;
				&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
				&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
				&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;/tr&gt;
		&lt;/tbody&gt;
	&lt;/table&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Published by &lt;cite&gt;......&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
</code></pre>
<h4>Example 3</h4>
<pre class="code"><code>
&lt;blockquote cite=&quot;Published by ......&quot;&gt;
&lt;table summary=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;caption&gt;&lt;/caption&gt;
	&lt;thead&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
			&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
			&lt;th scope=&quot;col&quot;&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/thead&gt;
	&lt;tbody&gt;
		&lt;tr&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
			&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
		&lt;/tr&gt;
	&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>I&#8217;ve decided which one I prefer, but I&#8217;d like to hear others&#8217; views about this. I almost forgot to mention &mdash; one example may be completely wrong.</p>
<p><em style="font-size:0.9em">Many will see the obvious similarities between this post and <a href="http://simplebits.com/">Dan Cederholm&#8217;s</a> &#8220;SimpleQuiz&#8221; series, however I have no intention of doing this sort of survey again so please flame/troll elsewhere. Thankyou and have a great day <img src='http://leftjustified.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
