But which Checkpoint (if not 5.1) would that be?
Besides, all of Guideline 3 is Priority 2 and (for the purposes of this inquiry) I am only concerned with Single-A.
Let me boil down 5.1 a little more:
> For data tables, use TH to identify headers.
Does this mean that headers should be *added* if they were not there to begin with?
