The AX code has heuristics that try to avoid exposing layout tables as data tables. However, when a section of the document is contentEditable, all tables should be treated as data tables, otherwise users may not be able to work with rich text editors that allow creating and editing tables.

Firefox already works this way (if it's contenteditable, all tables are data tables), I suggest WebKit follow that lead to keep things simple, unless there are any good arguments not to.
