The question is about HTML, not CSS at all. I’m moving the discussion to
the HTML group, hence fullquoting.

Stop using it. Problem solved. The HiSoftware “Cynthia Says” product far
more probably confuses you than helps you to make your pages more
accessible, which is its declared purpose.

The first message you quote relate to Section 508 rules. For a tutorial

Apparently “Cynthia says” is unable to check whether the rule actually
applies to a table in the document, so it just writes out the rule as
such. This is rather pointless “automatic checking.”

These are similar “automatic checks.” I suppose they relate to WCAG 1.0,
which was superseded by WCAG 2.0 some time ago.
