Description

The Best Practice Tagging document, tables section currently states:

> Reserved class values:
> listed, linear, stairstep
> Note that listed, linear, and stairstep are table types that are specific to North American braille formatting. Additional table types can be added. The use of these classes signifies the file creator's recommendation that a specific type of braille table formatting be used but the user or reading system may ignore this recommendation.

As for braille grade, I submit it is the CSS that should determine the behaviour and layout of the table, not the class name. Different regions may call very similar table layout by a different name.
Thus in the UK, we have "paragraph" format, which is similar to one of the BANA formats.

I submit, there should be no reserved class names, but the CSS should determine the behaviour. I agree that the CSS should determine the default layout, as suggested in the text above.
