Hi all,
hixie has added some role requirements and restrictions in the whatwg spec
that will soon come up for cherry picking [1] to the HTML 5.1 spec.
previously we determined that some of the following were not appropriate,
so am asking for ARIA folk to review:
note: implementers MUST map to these roles and authors are restricted to
applying the roles listed for each element (authors can also apply
role=presentation).
strong semantics:
table element grid role
tbody element rowgroup role
td element gridcell role
tfoot element rowgroup role
thead element rowgroup role
tr element row role
implicit semantics:
th element gridcell role Role must be either columnheader,
rowheader, or gridcell
