With “Headings”, Lars probably means “<th>” elements (not to confuse with i.e. <h1>).

In concrete, I cannot find anywhere how the tables should be considered. We are sure that figures must have an alternative text as they are non-textual content, but our doubt is with the tables, we do not know how they should be considered, and we couldn't find any solid clarification in the norm/standard.
