RE: Table Headings

I'm no expert on making complex tables accessible, but I think
separating the headers out and placing them in a different frame is
really not going to help accessibility at all -- it'll only help those
users with 20/20 vision. The idea is to associate each data cell with a
header(s) -- and that is only done by referencing headers in the same
table. So I think you'll have to declare headers on your main table
anyway.
