Here is an appeal: please reconsider the need to single out "Tables with one header " as a separate category of simple tables in the tutorial [1]. If retained, revise the situations where they are suitable and the corresponding examples. A simple data table must have both row and column headers marked up. There are perhaps very specific instances when this is not the case: e.g. 1: A calendar grid typically has a row containing days of week (column headers) and no row header column. e.g. 2: The first column of a two-column data table has row identifiers or row headers. The table may be devoid of a column header row. The smallness of a table with data itself being distinctly different in each column as stated in the tutorial [1] does not justify absence of row headers for those tables. I am still looking for answers posed in my emails below: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-eo-editors/2015Jun/0041.html https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-eo-editors/2015Jun/0033.html [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/tables/one-header/ Thanks, Sailesh Panchang
