<pre>rowgroups should not be focusable. We added this to ARIA purely so that we could make the algorithm for presentational inheritance work. See #presentation:
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/complete#presentation">http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/complete#presentation</a>
"Likewise, although an HTML table element does not have an implicit native semantic role corresponding directly to a WAI-ARIA role, the implicit native semantics of its thead/tbody/tfoot/tr/th/td descendants will also be removed, because the HTML specification indicates that these are required structural descendants of the table element."
The role mapping for "rowgroup" was explicitly defined as "no mapping" but unfortunately Alex didn't get the memo and added it to Firefox.
ARIA 1.1 should be updated to make it clear that making a rowgroup focusable is an authoring error.</pre>
