For today's discussion of actions 1724 and 1725

In addition to a mysterious syntax error that is messing up formatting, branch mck_issue633 of the ARIA repo contains the following.

 

Changed grid role description to:

1. Clarify and extend the intent  of the role to specify that it can be used to not only present tabular data but also group interactive elements.

2. Rearrange the text  so it presents requirements in a logical and easier to comprehend sequence.

3. Simplify wording and fix grammar errors.

4. Eliminate  use of the passive voice.

5. Update language related to colspan and rowspan to reflect new ARIA 1.1 properties.

6. Clarify the intent and meaning of readonly when applied to grid.

7. Add an author MAY statement regarding naming the grid with aria-labelledby or aria-label.

8. Change accessible name required to false.

9. Remove eroneous  references to treegrid where grid should have been used.

 

Changes to role gridcell:

1. Changed the word "active" to "focusable."

2. Clarified the intent of the statement about col and row headers so that it is understood that the relevancy of headers is determined by the author.

 

Added new itemfeed role that is a child of list.

 

Added new articlefeed role that is a child of itemfeed.

 

Not complete: 

1.       Two new properties require for the feed roles.

2.       Minor edits to treegrid role.
