[Doccheck](https://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/doccheck/) flagged it, my understanding is that every row needs to have a unique row header to aid screen readers. The previous code had one cell work as header for two rows. One could perhaps look at [the standards](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/tables.html#attr-tdth-headers) and implement something even better, but this is what I came up with. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/6291
