RE: mapping of TDs in HTML

Right, this is one of the reasons I rewrote the description of readonly in the new grid text. People were thinking a readonly grid was a static table; it is not. Actually, readonly on a grid is just a coding convenience thing ... it says nothing at all about the grid itself but only what the value of readonly is for elements inside of grid cells that support readonly or for gridcells that display a value and have an editing function associated with all gridcells.

No, because grid/gridcells support selection, but table/cells do not.

Specifically, grids support aria-multiselectable and gridcells support 
aria-selected.   Making a grid readonly does not affect its selection 
model, nor the selectable/selected/not-selected states of its gridcells.
