Description Carolyn MacLeod 2020-08-20 08:43:22 PDT 
Mac/VO role=tree conveys the APG tree example https://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/examples/treeview/treeview-1/treeview-1a.html as a table, with "list boxes" for treeitems. This is confusing to users.

(it also isn't announcing aria-selected treeitems).

Is it using AXTable instead of AXOutline?
(From @jcraig: IIRC, this an artifact of AppKit trees being implemented as single column tables.)
