Re: Regrets for the UAI TF meeting on 27 May 2014; mapping presentational children

Hi Joanie,

Just a couple of things to consider.

That's fine as far as it goes, but that does not explicitly say what 
ATK/AT-SPI role to use for the children of a presentational 
table/list*.  Or, is it your intent to defer to the " HTML to Platform 
Accessibility APIs Implementation Guide" [1]?  It states that the div 
element is exposed as:

- UIA Express:  ROLE_SYSTEM_GROUPING
- MSAA/IA2: IA2_ROLE_SECTION
- UIA: ?
- ATK: ATK_ROLE_SECTION
- AXAPI: AXGroup

* - also if the wording, "expose the child as a div element" is used in 
the UAIG, that wording would apply to all AAPIs (MSAA/IA2, UIA, and AXAPI.)
