For the ARIA specification, where the grid role is defined I propose the following text change in response to this action: Add the following text in grid role definition of the ARIA 1.1 spec: When aria-selected="true" is applied to an element having a role of rowheader or columnheader, that is owned by a grid with aria-multiselectable="true", the gridcells corresponding to the respective row or column must also expose the aria-selected state of "true", unless overridden by aria-selected="false" on a gridcell in the corresponding row or column. To this paragraph: gridcell elements with the aria-selected attribute set can be selected for user interaction, and if the aria-multiselectable attribute of the grid is set to true, multiple cells in the grid may be selected. Grids may be used for spreadsheets like those in desktop spreadsheet applications. </change> I recommend that the text of this revised paragraph also apply to the role treegrid. Please refer to the aria editor's draft for the role grid: http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/spec/aria.html#grid Rich Schwerdtfeger
