the error and warning tables have no headers. should probably read for errors:

Line, Selector, Error

and for warnings:

Line, Warning

or

<thead>
    <tr>
        <th>Line</th>
        <th>Selector</th>
        <th>Error</th>
    </tr>
</thead>

etc

it seems rather odd that we provide line numbers but without any html
source excerpted for context - this is really useful for understanding
and finding the problem; i think the html validator does this.
