lauout spelled incorrect
aria => ARIA

Could you mention existing tests are those ones covering this change? Asking that because it's not clear to me that this change is being tested at all (even though if the mapping seems correct)

Mario, I introduced an amendment to the test to be able to verify the change. Moreover I completed the code. Please comment this proposal of mapping.

Still, I miss tests using the <th> element. Perhaps it's better to leave those for another patch, but I would be insteresting to try to add them now as well, if it's not much of a trouble

You should remove the prefixed comment and probably comment on bug 125493 together with this patch

Same here

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:7

You need to write a description of the patch here (between this 'Reviewed by' line and the following one mentioning the tests).

> Source/WebCore/ChangeLog:12
> +        (atkRoleCell):
> +        (atkRole):

A brief sentence describing each change here wouldn't hurt either :)

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/atk/WebKitAccessibleWrapperAtk.cpp:597
> +    const AtomicString& roleCell = coreObject->getAttribute(HTMLNames::roleAttr);
> +    if (equalIgnoringCase(roleCell.string(), "rowheader"))

This seems wrong. The value of coreObject->roleValue() or coreObject->ariaRoleAttribute() should be RowHeaderRole and that's all you should need to make this decision here. Mannually checking the value of the role attribute like this is not a good idea (and in any case it should be done in another way, such as in AXObject::nodeHasRole())

Maybe there's something wrong in determineAccessibilityRole() or determineAriaRoleAttribute()?

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/atk/WebKitAccessibleWrapperAtk.cpp:696
> -        return coreObject->inheritsPresentationalRole() ? ATK_ROLE_SECTION : ATK_ROLE_TABLE_CELL;
> +        return atkRoleCell(coreObject);

If you fix the root reason why you could not get RowHeaderRole or ColumnHeaderRole to work (see comment above), you will probably not need this new function here either.

This is a proposal for discussion. 
I am currently working on several tests that fail following these changes in the code.

I know it's a proposal for discussion, but just in case, we normally put first the line describing the patch and last the one mentioning the tests (new or not) covering the changes. Would be nice to consider that for future patches

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/AccessibilityRenderObject.cpp:2564
> +        for ( ; node; node = node->parentNode()) {

I think a 'while (node)' statement would be better in this case

> Source/WebCore/accessibility/atk/WebKitAccessibleWrapperAtk.cpp:684
> +    case RowHeaderRole:
> +        return ATK_ROLE_ROW_HEADER;
> +    case ColumnHeaderRole:
> +        return ATK_ROLE_COLUMN_HEADER;

I wonder if this change will break other a11y tests or functionality if that some AccessibilityObjects that used to report a CellRole role will now report a ColumnHeaderRole or RowHeaderRole. I have the feeling that some more changes would be needed such as, for instance, to update the roleIsTextType() static function in the ATK wrapper.

Also, it would be great if you could share here a plain text representation of the ATK hierarchy that would be exposed for some common cases of HTML tables with column/row headers, so we are sure that whatever we will be exposing is what ATs (e.g. Orca) do expect.

are you sure you want to make a <Table> into a CellRole?

The for loop is very good...

Please note that tableTag at this point means that th element has no parent or the parent's parent and so on, which would be theadTag, tbodyTag or tfootTag item. In this situation, the decision for the original thTag is CellRole. Use tableTag lets stop checking on tableTag and not for example on body tag or html tag.

According to the comments by Chris.

[Andrzej Badowski]

If the current patch for bug 136818 (proposed patch 4) would be positively reviewed, this bug will depend on bug 136818. Accurate determination of role in the function AccessibilityTableCell::determineAccessibilityRole() will be based on the new functions: isRowHeaderCell and isColumnHeaderCell.

I think you should use a different variable for node, since you're using it it everywhere else to reference the current node, but
then you're in this for loop, changing it to parent nodes.
I see that you don't leave this block, so there's probably not a logic problem, but for readability it might be good to use

for (Node* parentNode = node->parentNode(); parentNode; parentNode = parentNode->parentNode())

Instead of hasTagName(thTag) we should consider:

    if (is<HTMLTableHeaderElement>(node))

This is much better:

    for (auto& ancestor : ancestorsOfType<HTMLElement>(downcast<HTMLTableHeaderElement>(*node))

All the hasTagName checks below will be more efficient if we already know it’s an HTML element.

I don't think we have such class (yet). Sadly, both tdTag and thTag map to the same HTMLTableCellElement class. So currently, if you're only interested in thTag but not tdTag, using hasTagName() is correct. This is something we should likely improve.
