Re: Should NVDA announce "table" when it encounters CSSdisplay:table ?

As far as I can tell, browsers are supposed to expose the node as a table.

I expect that JAWS is not announcing it as a table because one of its heuristics is that a data table contains at least two rows and two columns, which your example does not. If you built a table of that size using div elements and the relevant table-cell and table-row roles, JAWS would probably announce it as a table.
