Hi, as a quick question, I'm not sure what the role=grid is for on the table element. The use of role=application will activate the correct modality when focus is set within, , yet role=grid propagates the Grid roles down through all of the table markup, but since focus is being set to the A tags and not the implicit Gridcell elements, the role of Grid doesn't really do anything since the construct is already contained within a properly marked up data table already.
