Description
Currently resizing columns with resizable is not fully accessible. The keyboard can be used, but there are no directions in how to use it.
Current proposal is to use the feedback/label/UX of the slider ARIA widget and report the current pixel number to the user.
Currently resizing is implicit to the table header cell when in Salesforce's custom "edit mode"

Research direction
Start with the DataTable implementation and its resizable column behavior, especially the table header cell in Salesforce's custom edit mode. Review the existing slider ARIA feedback and label UX, then determine how the current pixel value and keyboard directions should be conveyed. Done means keyboard users receive clear resizing instructions and current-size feedback.
