Hi Alex,
right we had discussed this at the time when hixie was still editing the
w3c html spec and wanted to specify that.
so out of the roles the ones that look bogus to me are:
table element grid role
td element gridcell role
th element gridcell role
also the author restrictions on all of them need to be reveiewed
