It is not enough that table rows and columns have headings. A heading must actually be appropriate to the row or column it appears in and allow distinguishing between that row or column and adjacent rows or columns. Proposed Change: Link to new failure, Failure to choose appropriate table row and column headings. Description This document describes a failure caused by use of table column- or row-heading content that insuffiently describes or fails to distinguish the column or row. Examples: 1. Three consecutive rows have a row header (same row, first column) containing the same content. Either the wrong topic was chosen for column 1, or column 1 and another column need to be combined into a single column to produce a unique heading. 2. Column 1 contains a rowspan attribute and this table does not have scope, id and headers attributes to identify additional headings. 3. Row 1 contains a colspan attribute and this table does not have scope, id and headers attributes to identify additional headings.
