2.4.6 doesn't require that headings or labels (or perhaps table
headers) exist. It only requires that if they do exist that they
accurately describe the topic or purpose. So in this case if
inaccurate table headers were present, then this could probably apply.
But I think it a stretch that this SC would require that headers be
present at all. Or at least that's how I would interpret it.
