Description steve faulkner 2011-03-02 22:58:48 UTC
this "<tr role="cell">" is not currently considered a conformance error as you removed any role constraints on table related elements. So suggest replacing it with  an example that is actually a conformance error.

from the spec:

"Errors that involve a conflict in expressed semantics
Similarly, to draw the author's attention to mistakes in the use of elements, clear contradictions in the semantics expressed are also considered conformance errors.

In the fragments below, for example, the semantics are nonsensical: a row cannot simultaneously be a cell, nor can a radio button be a progress bar.

<tr role="cell">  <input type=radio role=progressbar>"

Bug triage sub-team thinks this is not a A11Y TF priority, can be worked out by original filer.

Status: Accepted

...though the fact that the spec now allows people to mark rows as cells is pretty crazy.
