Please indicate whether the comments in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg-comments/2008JanMar/0052.html were left unaddressed intentionally or by accident. The ARIA spec still doesn't say if the roles of rows, column headers and focusable cells are inferred when an HTML table has role=grid or role=treegrid. The spec suggests that this might be intended but doesn't say so in clear normative prose: > There may also be cases where ARIA can augment an existing element > in the host language. For example, a grid and gridcell elements can > reuse the functionality of a table when overlaying it. ARIA roles, > states, and properties are best used when the markup language does > not support all the semantics required. When a role attribute is > added to an element, the semantics and behavior of the element are > augmented or overridden by the role behavior. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
