List false positives in table cells

[gregrgay]

We're finding a lot of list false positives in table cells, like those in the attached screenshot. Not sure why some, but not others. Times (e.g. 11:00 pm) get flagged, for instance, but not the row headers that have a "1. Bedtime" value, which looks more like a list item but isn't flagged. Would removing the check for paragraphs that start with numbers in table cells help remedy the issue?

There are cases where a cell might have a list in it, so perhaps one of the parameters for the check could be if there is more than one paragraph in a cell that starts with a number, flag as a possible list, otherwise ignore it. etc.

Here's the markup for the table to experiment with:

Table 9.1: Sleep Diary

	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
1. Bedtime	11:00 pm	11:30 pm	11:05 pm	10:35 pm	10:55 pm	12:15 am	10:15 pm
2. Time to fall asleep	25	20	40	60	35	15	95
3. Time awake during night	20	25	15	35	20	45	60
4. Wake time	7 am	7 am	7 am	7 am	7 am	8:40 am	7:50 am
5. Rise time	7:15 am	7:20 am	7 am	7:25 am	7:15 am	10:50 am	11:45 am

Thanks, Greg. I'll look into it

Fixed!

[gregrgay]

Though the issue has been largely fixed, I did come across another instance, but don't see what's causing it. There are a couple other similar tables on the same page, that do not get flagged.

Here's the markup for the offending table.

Price	Quantity Demanded	Total Revenue	Marginal Revenue
7	0	0	NA
6.50	1	6.50	6.50
6	2	12	5.50
5.50	3	16.50	4.50
5	4	20	3.50
4.50	5	22.50	2.50
4	6	24	1.50
3.50	7	24.50	0.50
3	8	24	–0.50
2.50	9	22.50	–1.50

@adamchaboryk this is only hitting in Sa11y. Check https://github.com/ryersondmp/sa11y/blob/master/src/js/utils/elements.js#L58 -- I select for p:not(table p).
