For what it's worth, the W3C home page -- laid out by table -- does use its 
SUMMARY attribute to note that it's a layout table and what's in it:

table summary="Layout table: The first cell contains a navigation bar of 
W3C technologies, the second contains news, and the third another 
navigation bar of W3C pages."  border="0" width="99%" cellspacing="0" 
cellpadding="10"
