Name from author on column header & structural relationships

[smhigley]

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in core-aam, or somewhere else. Right now I don't really see anywhere that defines how column and row names are calculated for table and grid cells.

The columnheader role allows name from author, but does not specify whether that name should also be used as the calculated column name for cells within that column. It seems to me like it should, but either way should at least be defined. Right now, practical implementations differ: https://jsfiddle.net/kfyuwtxa/1/show

I think? this may be what you are looking for, but I don't think it says what you are expecting...
https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#other-tabular-data-elements

Kinda just lumps tr, td, th together and says: aria-label[ledby], title, nada

Actually, I see that someone opened HTML-AAM issue w3c/html-aam#179 to look at that, and @scottaohara commented agreement.

@carmacleod yeah, I saw that section/also saw the missing text content step. I also found that open issue when I was looking into filing the exact same bug on html-aam, which is why I didn't 😆

PRs are welcome :D

[scottaohara]

I think we can close this issue here, and we should work on this as part of w3c/html-aam#179

would greatly appreciate anyone to assist with that.
