I am continuing the discussion on the list. It sounds like we have two
models - contiguous rows/columns vs. author specified.

Should we say that if the author is going to provide row and column spans
that user agents NOT compute the indices? IOW, It must all be left up to
the author.

It sounds like the issue is that we are fighting with trying to compute the
results vs. what the author is putting in.

Hi, Rich. Here's Jamie's example [1] where putting ARIA span into
IAccessibleTable interface may be not trivial. I suggest to move discussion
to IA2 channel if possible.

        Hi, Brett. All but colspan/rowspan are implemented by Nightly.
        arai-colcount/rowcount/colindex/rowindex are exposed as
        GroupPosition on cells and rows. There's no understanding yet on
        how to expose aria-colspan/rowspan [1].

              Hi Alex,
              I am starting work on JAWS support for the new ARIA 1.1
              features.
              I wanted to see where you are w/r/t Firefox support for
              these.
              I was thinking of starting with the table related roles, does
              Firefox support these?
              How about:
              aria-colcount
              aria-rowcount
              aria-colindex
              aria-rowindex
              aria-colspan
              aria-rowspan

              Do you have a general time line for all the ARIA 1.1
              features?  (even just an ordering of which features will be
              implemented first)?
              Do you have a bug record for these?
              Thanks for any info you might have.
              Brett
