Have you ever used a screen reader when it encounters a table? in no  
way, shape or form is that usable.

Accessible? yes.

Usable? no.

This is the tipping point where accessibility and usability hug and go  
their separate ways, abandoning common sense as a common enemy.

The OP was concerned with accessibility of a table for disabled users,  
but making it accessible only creates a worse UX (for a disabled  
user). It's like strapping a stick to your head and trying to play  
Tekken with a Rock Band drum set.
