Let's take your example to the next level, what if the person who decided to remove the "Age" column thinks there is no need for "Position" either, she'd want to keep just the name, would you keep the table? More seriously, in my opinion yes, it would stop being tabular data because then the top row for the headers becomes useless. Look at it this way: if that (two column) table was linearized, its content would still make sense. But for me, tabular data is data that *need* x and y reference to make sense. > Finally, something I disagree with Thierry on!
