How table row and column information are mapped in IA2

One of the action items from today's
agenda was:

- Peter Korn and Pete Brunet to specify
the text of how table row and column information are mapped in ATK and
IA2 

For IA2 table info refer to 

http://accessibility.freestandards.org/a11yspecs/ia2/docs/html/interface_i_accessible_table.html

and in particular to these methods

childIndex ([in] rowIndex, [in] columnIndex,
[out] cellIndex) - Translates the given row and column indexes into the
corresponding cell index. 

columnDescription ([in] column, [out]
description) - Returns the description text of the specified column in
the table. 

columnHeader ([out] accessibleTable,
[out] startingRowIndex) - Returns the column headers as an IAccessibleTable
object.

columnIndex ([in] cellIndex, [out] columnIndex)
- Translates the given cell index into the corresponding column index.

nColumns ([out] columnCount) - Returns
the total number of columns in table.

nRows ([out] rowCount) - Returns the
total number of rows in table. 

rowDescription ([in] row, [out] description)
- Returns the description text of the specified row in the table.

rowHeader ([out] accessibleTable, [out]
startingColumnIndex) - Returns the row headers as an IAccessibleTable object.

rowIndex ([in] cellIndex, [out] rowIndex)
-Translates the given cell index into a row index.

Is there a specific aspect of this information
that is needed?
