table:use-first-row-styles not available on <table:table-template>?

*****

The table:first-row-end-column attribute specifies the whether the cell
in the first row, end column gets its style from its row or column.

*****

Francis observes:

*****

This attribute was deprecated in ODF 1.2, but according to the schema
this attribute is required on <table:table-template>. The text says that
attributes table:use-first-row-styles and table:use-last-column-styles
are to be used instead, but these attributes aren't available on
<table:table-template>, only on <table:table>.

*****

There being no use for  table:use-first-row-styles and table:use-last-column-styles outside of table:table, is the failure to put them on <table:table-template> a nice to have but not a real issue?
