James told us about an example of this. The "Stocks" widget in the Mac OS X
Dashboard uses hidden table headers. The layout is a table showing various
pieces of stock info, but because it's such a well-known format, visible
headers are not shown. However, header info is still useful when using a screen
reader or other assistive technologies, as additional explanation of the
columns.
