I've included an example of a data table from one of our clients (changing the
names and using dummy values) [1]. These kind of tables are not overly
complicated, and common. It's perfectly reasonable to be able to show split
data data within aggregate data, to reduce the cognitive load on users expected
to drill in and out of data.

With HTML 4.01, this is done using the headers attribute to point to a td (such
as a cell containing the data "budgeted"). How should this be done in HTML5?
