Dear committee,
Section 2.13 in the document "WAI ARIA Authoring Practices 1.1" at http://w3c.github.io/aria/practices/aria-practices.html,
the third note on setting role on TR to ROW seems to contradict section "3. Document conformance requirements for use of ARIA attributes in HTML" in the document "ARIA in HTML" at http://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/.
"Each row should be clearly marked using a <TR> from HTML and by using a role of
row"
and "Whenever a row is selected, set its role to
Row and its aria-selected="true".
The ARIA in HTML section 3 states that a TR should not have a role of ROW, or, more generally, that an HTML element with native semantics should not be given a role with the same semantics.
Please clarify or fix instances of such contradictions between the documents.
