Then you have to apply to the rules in your own nation. Does yours explicitly ban tables even if they gracefully degrade?

No - as would be expected. The ability to degrade gracefully does not automatically mean a table is accessible and usable after it has degraded (or before it degrades, for that matter), so degradation (graceful or otherwise) isn't used to measure accessibility or usability.
