I don't seen any harm in doing this properly, but what I think you need here is th on all the horizontal and vertical headings. For a user agent that complies with section 11.4.3 of the HTML 4 specification, headers is likely to be unecessarily verbose. You've also logically got column groups, although, except for shading purposes, you might not gain much from making them explicit.
