If we suppress column heading for the sighted [I assume you're referring 
to visual styling], why can't we suppress the column heading for others?

I'm sorry, but I really do not want to debate what is or isn't a layout 
table.  It's like the debate that is never ending about what is good alt 
text.  But we should agree on a few fundamentals.  One being that TH 
elements do not belong in layout table - right?
