row/col header design for disjoint headers

[Pete Brunet <brunet@us.ibm.com>]

>4. Peter Korn & Pete Brunet
- verify how ATK & IAccessible2 can convey multiple disjoint row &
column headers (Hiro's slides #8 & #13 from his 
e-mail http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/group_public/email/office-accessibility/200708/msg00005.html)
which ODF can encode so long as the headers are in their own groups.

Regarding adding support for disjoint
row or column headers, there may not be a real world need for adding this
function but two possible ways this could be handled in IA2/ATK is 

1) a new method that returns two arrays:
an array of offsets and a corresponding array of tables
2) two new methods:  one to return
the number of tables and one to use in an iteration with a [in] index parameter
and two [out] parameters, offset and table.

If this is something that we should
discuss further we can put it on the agenda for the Open A11y group?
