(Although I did like Tina's explaination, I've not seen it stated so simply before.) A simple example would be a table of contacts, that has headings of name, address, phone number, email address etc. The important points will vary depending on who you are looking for, so there really isn't a summary that is useful, except perhaps describing what order the table is organised in. I guess my point is that I'd rather see summaries in the WCAG as a guidelines feature rather than an automated check, given the variety of possibilities.
