Hi Craig, 
Looking into this issue i believe the error being reported by the validator was
partially incorrect as aria-sort can be used on either a grid or table [1].
However it was not defined in the HTML the spec that th elements with a scope
of col/row mapped to columnheader/rowheader. I have updated the spec to reflect
that they do[2]. 

what this means for conformance purposes is that 

<th scope="col" aria-sort...>

<th scope="row" aria-sort...>

will not require explicit roles to be declared.

I will respond on the validator bug to get this implemented.
