Andres, To determine the reason we'd have to go back to the discussions
that took place when the Java a11y API was developed.
Rob has indicated that at least JAWS would prefer to deal with header
tables. If this a roadblock for Adobe?
Is the creation of header tables awkward enough and the use of relations
appealing enough that we should consider deprecating IATable::rowHeader
and columnHeader?
