Responsive tables and validation errors #174
Description
When adding responsive to tables we get validation errors:
"The role attribute must not be used on a td element which has a table ancestor with no role attribute, or with a role attribute whose value is table, grid, or treegrid."
Can these be looked at / amended please?
