A11y review: Table

[hobbes7878]

Hey @juruwolfe, Welsh added a new component would be good to get the a11y team to audit at their leisure:
https://reuters-graphics.github.io/graphics-components/?path=/docs/components-table--default

Anyone in that group I can pin this ticket to?

Oh yeah I can take a look once I'm back

Very nice. If I can help, let me know.

Two things on my mind:

• Since we broke the metadata out of the <caption> tag, should we consider an aria-describedby attribute that links the table to the header, as described in "Approach 2" here.
• Should we scope the rows by default by making the first cell a <th scole="row">, as shown here? I've never known if that's something that ought to be universal, or only when the first cell signifies something unique about the record.
