In context, I think Ian was referring to rare authoring needs, not rare user needs. In particular, the example cited where scope would not adequately describe the table but headers would, is fairly obscure and not representative of the kinds of tables found on the web. An author might have the choice to lay out their table differently but a user would not, once the table is created. I'm more interested in the impact on existing screen readers of scope vs. headers, since that will be more relevant to common tables. Regards, Maciej
