Description Edwin Martin 2011-02-24 17:41:01 CET

Both validator.w3.org and html5.validator.nu give errors on four wai-aria roles:

columnheader 
heading 
rowheader 
tablist 

For my test I took the roles from the DTD [1], which is from 2002. These roles are also in the current Candidate Recommendation.

This is my test document:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div role="grid">
<div role="row">
<div role="columnheader"></div>
<div role="rowheader"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div role="heading"></div>
<div role="tablist"></div>
</body>
</html>

To reproduce: Paste the code above in the validator (validator.w3.org or html5.validator.nu) with default settings.

Result: errors are reported

Expected: the page validates
