Re: PFWG-ISSUE-626 (clarifying text alt recursion ): text alt computation statements on recursion are unclear [ARIA 1.1]

James,

During last week's PF caucus call (Jul 7) , you raised a potential 
problem with regard to a recursive aria-labelledby in tables.  I've made 
an example for testing; find attached.

I think you were asking what happens if a <td> uses aria-labelledby to 
reference both its column and row headers, and the row header, in turn, 
uses aria-labelledby to reference its column header:  whether the name 
calculation for the cell visits the column header twice -- once 
directly, and once via the row header's aria-labelledby?  Does the 
attached markup capture your question (the raw html is given below)?

<html>
<body>
<table border tabindex="0">
    <thead>
       <tr>
          <th id="col1">Column One</th>
          <th id="col2">Column Two</th>
       </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
       <tr>
          <th id="row2" aria-labelledby="col1">Row 2</td>
          <td aria-labelledby="row2 col2">R2 C2</td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
          <th id="row3" aria-labelledby="col2">Row 3</td>
          <td aria-labelledby="row3 col2">R3 C2</td>
       </tr>
       </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>
