test case

AccessibilityTable::isDataTable() needs an update that excludes elements from most of the heuristic considerations if the element is not a native <table> element.

In other words, no matter its style properties, an element should never be exposed as AXTable unless the element is <table>, or explicitly uses "table", "grid", or "treegrid" as the value of the role attribute. The additional heuristics like border detection should only be applied to <table> elements that have no explicit role.

Test case from Marco Ranon:

I think this will be as simple as:

if (!this.hasTagName(tableTag))
    return false;

...but WebKit is not building for me at the moment. Need to make sure that does not break, legitimate ARIA 1.0 grids/treegrids and ARIA 1.1 tables.
