Quickfire answer: as there's no real concept of a "table" per se in
native android or iOS development (it's more about scrollable views
etc), there's no standard semantics for these sorts of things in native
and authors need to essentially make up their own behind-the-scenes
hooks to convey information in a way that makes sense to mobile screen
reader users.
