Comment (by afercia):

 @adamsilverstein thanks for reviewing. Those "visible labels" aren't just
 text. They are, respectively:
 - $args['title'] -> `<caption>` element
 - title_left and title_right -> `<th>` table headers

 As such they contribute to provide proper semantic information for the
 table. This is a data table and table headers are ''required'' to clarify
 what the data within the columns are. It's not just a visual thing :) and
 I wouldn't recommend to remove them.

 No objections if you think a new design is necessary. However, the new
 design should respect web standards and accessibility constraints in order
 to provide semantic HTML and good level of accessibility (with visible
 table headers).
