The WCAG example seems less than ideal. The cell in question is clearly acting
as a row header, and so should be marked up as a <th> instead.
Allowing @scope on ordinary table-cells (<td>) when it's only intended to be
used for header cells (<th>) doesn't seem to benefit anyone.

I don't understand this at all. Why must one put a class on a <th> in order to
override the browser default styling? Presumably the intent is to make a
header cell that looks just like the other cells. This can be done in the
ordinary way by using CSS to just select all the <th> elements.
