GWT Accessibility: Aria attributes on CellTables

While working on the accessibility issues for the AS7 console, we've realized that the new CellTable implementation misses the aria grid attributes. For the ones of you new to this topic: Aria defines a way to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities. It especially helps with dynamic content and advanced user interface controls developed with Ajax, HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies.

We've already submitted a patch to the core GWT team. If this issue is important to you, please vote for it :
