Tag Nomenclature Conventions

How important is it to have every tag identified within a complex table? I
am currently working with some pretty gnarly and non-standard financial
tables, and I have been more successful with taming them, but I am trying
to be as thorough as possible. I have been naming each <TR> tag with the
contents of the first cell to keep them straight when I construct them, but
is it necessary? Or could it even be hampering screen reader software?

Thank you for your time,

Laurie
