I've noticed that JAWS will read the first row of a table in a Web page as
a table header by default regardeless of whether the "th" tag is used for
the first row.  Therefore is there a reason to use the "th" tag?  It
doesn't seem to serve a purpose (unless you want to use the "abbr" tag).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
