Yeah, I know, but it's not precise enough, especially out of context with the others on the concepts page and without "multi-level" in the same phrase as it is on the concepts page. All two header tables and irregular tables have "multiple header cells associated per data cell". This page covers "multi-level".

I think it's fine to leave it as is on the concepts page, but I think it needs to be clarified in the first sentence of the sub-page.
Probably smoother as: "This page covers tables that have multiple-level header cells associated per data cell."
