 Spotted a couple of places where some `th` are empty. The `th` element
 conveys a semantic meaning and it's used by assistive technologies to
 establish a relationship with the related table cells. This implies a
 table header shouldn't be empty. Most of all, when used just for layout
 purposes, shouldn't be a `th` in the first place and a `td` should be used
 instead.
