About ccategory- simple data tables with one header

Here is an appeal: please reconsider the need to  single out "Tables with one header " as a 
separate category of simple tables in the tutorial [1]. If retained, revise the situations 
where they are suitable and the corresponding examples.
A simple data table must have both row and column headers marked up. There are perhaps very 
specific instances when this is not the case:
e.g. 1: A calendar grid typically has a row containing days of week (column headers) and no 
row header column. 
e.g. 2: The first column of a two-column data table has row identifiers or row headers. The 
table  may be devoid of a column header row.

The smallness of a  table with data itself being distinctly different in each column as 
stated in the tutorial [1] does not justify absence of row headers for those tables.

I am still looking for answers posed in my emails below:
