Hi, Joanie and Rich. Here's Jamie's email pointing to a problem if colspan/rowspan are exposed via AccessibleTable interface [1]. The difference between HTML and ARIA attributes is that ARIA can be used to create tables with gaps, while HTML cannot. AccessibleTable is not suitable to expose such tables.
