I was just about to write that the tables with the more complex column headers, such as <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx8AFXyl5hgRZjE4Y2dKeGpSSzg/view>, might be able to be broken into 2 separate tables, which reduces the tedium of multi-level headers.

But if you do check with the HHS 508 office, they'll probably require that you do just that. Break bigger tables into 2 or more tables and reduce many of the column header levels. Sure makes it easier to deal with the IDs and scope, as well as providing a better experience for those who use AT.
