Although this table is complex in that there are multiple layers of headers, they're easily resolved using the scope attribute. They need examples that can't be resolved with scope, and requires the headers attribute to unambiguously associate headers with data cells. They're aware that the headers attribute is better supported by assistive technology than scope, but aren't convinced that there is a need for the attribute, as every example they've seen would work with just the scope attribute.
