Triaging now.....

W.r.t. this:

This is due to the fact that WebKit decides not to expose "layout
tables" as tables. Your table has been heuristically declared a "layout
table," thus your cells are not cells and your table is not a table. :-)

WebKit a11y work is largely the work of the folks at Apple. They've done
lots of great things which we can ultimately use. However, sometimes
what makes sense for VoiceOver users doesn't jive with what we expect in
GNOME-based ATs. This is such a case.

My intent is to make a platform specific change to cause such tables and
cells to be exposed as such, leaving it up to individual ATs to decide
how to present the content. With any luck, that might be sufficient to
cause Orca to present the right info even with a borked table hierarchy
(which is also on my list for this weekend). Such a change, I believe,
will be small, simple, and safe. So even if there have been API changes,
you could patch your version of WebKitGtk to fix the issue.

All a long way of saying the following: If it's not too late, hold off
on the list conversion and let me see what I can do between now and
Monday evening.
