That's a good point. I didn't take this into consideration.

I recently read about making tables more accessible for screen readers. 
There are some helpful tag attributes that can do a lot for people with 
disabilities.

I've never tested a screen-reader, but from what I've read the abbr, 
scope and headers attribute should do a pretty good job in this regard.

I would really appreciate that :-)
