Perplexing that there is no SC for such an essential feature like heading-semantic for tables.

SR partially provide functionality to read the first cell in a col/row or to navigate there. But these functionalities are laborious crutches to gain the meaning of a cell. And they have to be known by SR users.

Sending blind users with seeing eyes into the labyrinth…

So let us hope for new SC:
2.4.11 Table Semantics (AA)
… and continue with
2.4.12 No nested tables (AAA)

… or will that start with 2.4 .2030?
