RE: aria-rowindex and aria-colindex

What happens if you have several columns in a table that correspond to colspan? Then the values won’t match if aria-colindex is on row instead of gridcell.

tables are not different from grids in that means I think so if table is not supposed to have holes then aria-colindex can be hosted by row.

Are these properties going to be limited to just grids? Or will they
also apply to the proposed new ARIA table roles (for non-interactive
tables)? If the latter, wouldn't aria-colindex be a property of the cell
and not the row?
