Well, that wouldn't be the exact spec text, of course. :) The exact spec
text would state that those tbody instances need to be contained in, or
owned by, an element with role table, grid, or treegrid. Having said all
that, if the consensus is that we don't want distinct ARIA roles for
parts of non-interactive tables, my question becomes obsolete.
