As mentioned in issue #1357, can we please clarify the dependency scope table on Introduction to the Dependency Mechanism ?

Can we label the column and row headers? It took me a while to understand the table from the sentences above the table and I think header labels would it make clearer and easier to understand. My understanding is each row header in left column is a Main project dependency and each column header in first row is a Dependency project dependency. I wasn't able to get two header rows in Mark Down so I used HTML.

No, click on the button to display the rich diff to see the change. My idea was to add header labels to the table. I wasn't able to get two header rows in Mark Down so I used HTML.
