JAWS 9 and the Layout Table Algorithm

Does anyone know how JAWS 9 determines if a table is a layout or data
table?

I seem to be looking at a HTML table with 2 columns and 3 rows that JAWS
thinks is a layout table, although the author intends it to be a data
table. It looks like all the cells have content of some type.

Thanks!
