I can see a reason why both would be valuable. In your particular use
case, it sounds like column-specific headers are what you need rather
than alternating headers.
Once you put in support for it, it probably wouldn't be that difficult
to allow both, with the class specified on the column taking
precedence for the one in headerClasses, and that one taking
precedence over headerClass.

Actually, as we specify the column classes on the dataTable element
via the columnClasses attribute, from a concistency point of view, I
believe that it would be better to deprecate the headerClass attribute
and add a new attribute to the dataTable tag called headerClasses that
works just like the columnClasses attribute.
This also makes it possible to have alternating stylesheet classes for
headers (I'm not sure if this is even needed though.)
So I think that it would be better to add the attribute to the dataTable tag.
