This seems to be the new check for HTML documentation validity as part
of accessibility enhancements in R. As far as I'm aware, HTML5 doesn't
_require_ tables to have summaries, nor does Rd provide a way to
specify them. This could be a bug in Tidy-html5, except it's been
apparently fixed in 2016: https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5/issues/377
