Here is the feedback I received from the accessibility reviewer:

The attribute is obsolete for HTML 5. However, the current documentation still uses the summary attribute in tables.


I don't know whether the `aria-label` would work, and given the time constraint we are currently operating under, I propose we accept this change and consider reverting back to a table format with acceptable a11y attributes in a follow-up.
