Rich notes above, "I believe we discussed this and we made the 'group'
role the generic role". I can confirm that the AAPI group decided to
change the mappings for role="rowgroup" to a generic group-like role for
the various platforms [1]. The reason is that authors can create a grid
with rowgroup elements that are focusable and interactive (e.g., respond
to clicks) [2].
However, the statement, "This would be consistent with IE and Safari
mappings" is not correct with respect to Safari. The current AXAPI
mapping for rowgroup is "Not mapped". There is a webkit bug in this
regard [3]. What is the current thinking regarding AXAPI's mapping of
the rowgroup role?
Thanks.
