Re: some conformance questions

>But there are plenty of legitimate tables around without headers. E.g.
magic squares:

So how many of the instances of tables without headers are legit 0.1%, 1%,
10%

if the answer to this is at the lower end of the scale then it would be
reasonable to conclude that if a table without headers is checked by a
conformance checker , the use of the table is non conforming and should be
flagged as such , probably with a warning.
