@joanie:
Thanks a lot, that's all extremely helpful!

Do you have any idea/suggestion on how selection would be exposed on the a11y
level? With the description from comment 11, it would seem most consistent to
me for the Selection interface to also be limited to the actual/visible part of
the table.

The grid example from the ARIA WG currently links to an advanced grid example
at [1] ("Example of a grid with behaviors and features similar to a typical
spreadsheet, including cell and row selection."), but unfortunately, that page
then says "This example has not yet been developed. Development is described in
issue 155. [2]

Currently, Orca e.g. announces "A21 to AK21 selected" when extending an
existing selection A20:AK20" by pressing Shift+Down, even if only columns R to
AK are currently shown. So IIUC, that currently makes use of information on
table cells that would no longer be included in the a11y tree any more if
following that pattern.
