Re: issue-606 and aria-colindex, aria-rowindex

The decision regarding issue-606 [1] was that it was covered by 
issue-398 [2].

Issue-398 appears, at first glance, to be about aria-setsize and 
aria-posinset on grid, treegrid, and tree roles.  However, the 
discussion led to adding aria-colindex to gridcell and aria-rowindex to row.

As Stefan pointed out, action-1293 adds the new aria-colindex and 
aria-rowindex properties to the spec, due on Nov 11:

One thing left to determine is how aria-colindex and aria-rowindex are 
exposed by the various accessibility APIs.  There are investigations 
regarding how to map it in the case of UIA express/UIA [4], and 
ATK/AT-SPI [5] with due dates of Dec 18.

Hope that helps.
