These two points are critical improvements for InDesign!
Re point 1: Currently in InDesign, you cannot make heading text vertical by using Paragraph Styles or Cell Styles. Instead, you have to highlight the text and change to vertical in the Type settings ribbon. For example, I have column headers that I made vertical. Once I exported to PDF, the PDF does not recognize the separate columns, as if there was no text in each. I would think that, if making a text direction option in Paragraph or Cell Styles (e.g. select horizontal; vertical; or slanted by X degrees), then once exported, PDF would recognize the table columns as it does with horizontal text -> thus allowing for proper Header/Body cell tagging, and a screen reader accessible table.
Re point 2: Yes, scope should automatically export from InDesign, rather than having to set scope in PDF in every cell each time you update and re-export the document with the table.
When selecting 'repeat header row once per page' in InDesign, please have InDesign export so that only that first Header row text is <THead> and all the body text is in one single <TBody> tag!
It should not be that you have to manually artifact the duplicate Header row text and then move all body rows under the first body row page - especially for tables that span many pages.
