Steve,
If you want to find out more about this Cynthia is working with the
University of Illinois to do accessibility compliance testing for CR. I
think there will be a lot more bugs than this. That said, the focus is
IE10/W8 per Cynthia. Also, I found out from Cynthia, on a call, that IE10
has better accessibility support on w8 than IE10 on W7. I don't know the
details.
Perhaps you can have Michael give you a report on IE10 accessibility
support of ARIA thus far. That will be much better as CR testing will
exercise the entire spec.

Subject: IE not removing required child roles for a table
role=presentation
Hi all,
looking at this code example in an object inspection tool:
<table role="presentation">
<tr>
<td>
1
</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
It is my understanding (from the spec and UIAG) that the required child
elements (td's and tr's) should inherit the role=presentation from the
table element.
This occurs in Firefox (for example) but does not occur in IE 9. In IE the
td elements are still represented as table cells in the accessibility tree.
for the following IE does remve the required child roles for li's:
<ol role="presentation">
<li>1
<li>2
<li>3
</ol>
is the exposing of td roles a known bug or am I reading/ doing something
wrong?
