Sorry I missed this. While you’re right that extended table behaviors (dataset providers, pivot tables, etc.) will be too big for 1.1, it’s possible we can get some of the missing HTML table semantics into ARIA 1.1: Table and cell rows, and possibly the colspan/rowspan semantics.

Potential ARIA 1.1 issues?

	ISSUE-423: Introduce a table role to be a parent of grid, but non-interactive

	ISSUE-2: Rowspan / Colspan
	https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/2

Related, but probably best left for ARIA 2.0:

	ISSUE-3: Investigate full table support in non HTML base languages (SVG) and other table/grid semantics that are missing from HTML
	https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/3

	ISSUE-611: Support Pivot Table functionality in ARIA
	https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/611

Thoughts/concerns/objections?
