At a guess, the support is not there because it would either not be useful for the vast majority of pages (which in any case code headings as <td><b>...</b></td>) or might even be counterproductive (inappropriate use of <th>...</th>. On that basis, any attempt to work round it will lower the priority of implementing it in the speech browsers. It may also be that the feature is there, but turned off by default.
