How table row and column information are mapped in IA2

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

One of the action items from today's
agenda was:
- Peter Korn and Pete Brunet to specify
the text of how table row and column information are mapped in ATK and
IA2 

For IA2 table info refer to 
http://accessibility.freestandards.org/a11yspecs/ia2/docs/html/interface_i_accessible_table.html
and in particular to these methods

• childIndex ([in] rowIndex, [in] columnIndex, [out] cellIndex) - Translates the given row and column indexes into the corresponding cell index.
• columnDescription ([in] column, [out] description) - Returns the description text of the specified column in the table.
• columnHeader ([out] accessibleTable, [out] startingRowIndex) - Returns the column headers as an IAccessibleTable object.
• columnIndex ([in] cellIndex, [out] columnIndex) - Translates the given cell index into the corresponding column index.
• nColumns ([out] columnCount) - Returns the total number of columns in table.
• nRows ([out] rowCount) - Returns the total number of rows in table.
• rowDescription ([in] row, [out] description) - Returns the description text of the specified row in the table.
• rowHeader ([out] accessibleTable, [out] startingColumnIndex) - Returns the row headers as an IAccessibleTable object.
• rowIndex ([in] cellIndex, [out] rowIndex) -Translates the given cell index into a row index.

Is there a specific aspect of this information
that is needed?
