But there is nothing in the markup, afaics, that says "this is a column
heading row" or "this is a 'real' table row".

What I meant was simply: Consider
11111 2 (two cells, first table row)
3 44444 (two cells, second table row)
fits in a width of 7 in minimal rendering (ignore any margin issues). But
in tabular form it needs a width of 11:
11111 2
3 44444
So, having some row fit on a line when TRST doesn't kick in does not mean
that TRST could doe something reasonable with it.

It's worth getting for this purpose alone. FTP url is given in lynx.cfg.
I'ts only a fraction of the size of lynx - if you can compile lynx, you
should have no problem with this. (you need the slang library)

Well, it doesn't really help those with a screen width of 80 or 100...
But please see for yourself with -dump -width=...
