Table cells reference missing headers

td-headers-attr

Data cells point at header cells that do not exist in the table.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, who hear nothing where the column name should be.

Fix it in WordPress

Rebuild the table; hand-edited header references break easily.

What the fix is, technically

Correct the headers attribute so it references real header ids in the same table.
