excerpt from http://www.bhatt.id.au/blog/2005/03/24/accessible-html-tables/
<table> elements are often maligned by the web standards savvy developer who equates them to the bad old days of table based layout.
This has the unintended consequence that such a developer won't know how to best use a <table> for its proper purpose of displaying data. This article aims to fix this problem by going through the elements and attributes which can help make a data table more accessible, render faster, and make it easier to interpret.
