'a11ytables' is awkward because of:

  • pronunciation ('accessibilitytables', 'allytables', 'ay-eleven-why-tables')
  • misinterpretation (those 1s could be Ls)
  • typing (numbers and letters, ugh)

Worst of all, I think it provides 'false emphasis'. The package is more about automation for creating consistent, compliant spreadsheets, where accessibility is baked in.

And obviously 'gptables' (good practice tables) is already taken ;)

If it's changed, then it needs to be done by v0.1. The name {a11ytables} has already been advertised a fair bit.

Consider instead a namechange if {a11ytables} ever needs a version 2. Maybe this would happen if the API changed sufficiently, e.g. the YAML approach in #65 or because of the inegration of {openxlsx2} as per #70.
