ARIA Grid Discussion

Hi,
Just when you think you don't need to see a discussion, it comes up as a topic in testing after it has been talked about on list.

I'm looking for info about making ARIA grids accessible. Specifically, to a screen reader it looks like we have a one row table followed by the rest of the table in a separate table. I want to understand what the issues are from a developer perspective. In otherwords, if the developer says something like "We are using this grid because it is responsive and we don't want to turn it into a single HTML table because it will break what we want it to do," how do I respond and show them they can have their cake and eat it too?

Thanks.

Jim
