We use the OASIS table model in our JATS 1.2 XML for in-house editing with
Arbortext Editor. Is there a way to tag a table row so that the first cell in
the row is designated as a row header, so that this


<row>
    <entry>Row header</entry>
    <entry>Some value</entry>
    <entry>Another value</entry>
</row>

can be converted to this

<tr>
    <th scope="row">Row header</th>
    <td>Some value</td>
    <td>Another value</td>
</tr>

Were trying to make the header element and scope attribute available for
screen readers.
