Re: [g-a-devel] Tables in ATK/AT-SPI with rowspan/colspan

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Harry,

Sorry for being a while to respond - I've been on vacation, and now just 
catching up on old e-mail.  Did the meeting happen? 

I think the basic issue is that while AccessibleTable was designed with 
row & column spanning in mind, we are diverging from some of these APIs 
in the gecko implementation, as worked out by Willie & a Aaron and a 
bunch of other folks.

So... I'm not quite sure where this stands; whether this is part of the 
divergence or not.
