Comment (by joedolson):

 I think that the horizontal relationship is probably sufficient. Having a
 `thead` element is necessary for a table that has data organized in
 columns, but practically speaking this table really only depends on the
 rows. We could add headers, but they would be extremely generic, e.g.
 "Test" and "State" or something to that effect. I think that data is too
 generic to be semantically valuable. (This was one of the arguments for
 keeping this presentational in the first place: any relevant heading would
 be too generic to be useful.)

 Allowing this to have some tabular relationships but not requiring it to
 have less meaningful relationships still seems like a reasonable solution.

 I think that adding headings would just be satisfying semantic purity, but
 not actually providing meaningful context for the user.
