Hi Matt,
There is an editor's note in the master branch that states (my emphasis):
" Now that 1.1 will include a table role, we need to differentiate the
short description more sufficiently. Emphasize that grids are
"interactive" tables that *maintain a selection state*."
One of the states that grid supports is aria-multiselectable, but this
is absent in the case of the table role. Similarly, the gridcell role
supports aria-selected, but the cell role does not.
This is one of the main differences between grids/gridells and
tables/cells, and it should be underscored up front. But, I'm having a
tough time trying to fit it into the new short description.
How about:
"A composite widget that supports a selection model, containing one or
more rows with one or more cells where some or all of the cells in the
grid are focusable using two-dimensional navigation, such as by
directional arrow keys."
