I think I understood the coding, and we don't have an
issue with 1.4.1 since the information is provided in
another way (text). Yes, a legend could be helpful; see
also #3 below.

I didn't have a problem with the separate columns, since
the second one is the th, which does the centering as a
side effect. This would be a problem with 1.4.8 except 
that
it's not a block of text and requirement 3 strangely 
doesn't
prohibit centering even for blocks of text. So, again
personal preference, I find tables much easier to read
with th, td {text-align: left; vertical-align: top} 
always.

BTW, I'm not sure of "Term" as the column heading for 
this,
but I haven't thought of anything else yet. I'll work on
it. And one typo: leave it to this goofy English language
to spell the 1st principle "precEIvable" instead of the
way it sounds.

I assumed that the shades of green/cyan mean "Passed A",
"Passed AA", and Passed AAA" respectively (all of which
should be a "pass" even if it doesn't meet AA or AAA).
I also assumed that pink was for anything that failed
even Level A. Yes, I think it could be clearer in the
text. And we do need to have a way of indicating "NA".
