True. The heading on the column, after all, is just a metadata label.

To throw in an additional wrinkle, however, the places where we need to 
add these document objects to the list is when they might need custom 
properties. In other cases, we can assume conventions (a la GRDDL) for 
extraction.

For example, one might assume that a column heading results in this 
triple:

	_:column1 rdfs:label "My Heading" .

If you wanted to enable users to also do stuff like ...

	_:column1 dc:subject <http://ex.net/topics/foo> .	

... then we add table-table-column to the list (via your XSLT of 
course).

I think that Elias was thinking the best approach is to just allow the 
attributes on any content node (to not try to be too fine-grained 
here).
