The "hacking" comment and using the roles was not specifying roles on
elements that had the role already. When you specify role="presentation"
on a table, all rows and cells lose their identities. When you're hacking
two separate tables to appear as one table, you have to reapply the
appropriate roles to the <tr> and <td> elements.
