There should not be an automatic default setting for row headers because it would be inappropriate in many cases. Just a few days ago I had to spend ages changing inappropriate row headers into data cells in a PDF that had been authored in Word.

Of course there must be a way to manually designate row headers. And multiple levels of headers need to be supported too - we see a lot of Excel tables that need them, but there is no way to do it.
