I am not sure we are using the summary in a way that  makes it worthwhile.
As you noted in the other mail
"The summary attribute was used to give a more descriptive value
of the contents of the table.   A caption is more like a title"

The values I see are more like a title and as you say that is not the 
idea. See the example here

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H73.html

Caption sounds like a title so it might actually be more appropriate 
than summary
for the text we have except that its not clear why we'd want it to be 
visible when we were fine without.

But being there and invisible may be pointless unless screen readers 
look for it even if invisible.

But if its not doing any harm I guess we can leave it as proposed

I still need to look at the rest of the changes.
