If the developer is using scope to create an "index" for styling
reasons, there are several suitable alternatives. Modern browsers will
support the <col> element (see
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/columns.html) for basic styling.
Additionally, you could use
tr td:first-child {}
styles to style just the first column. Or alternatively just give each
first cell in a row a class name (which is no more complex than adding
the scope attribute).
