[Accessibility-ia2] Fw: Re: IA2 Role Landmark

Mon, 22 Feb 2016 09:42:50 -0800

Hi James,
 
The ARIA working group would like to add an IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK to IA2 to align with ATK/ATSPI and to accommodate the changes to ARIA 1.1 which would make a region a landmark. This would be used in accordance with xml-roles which would provide the actual landmark role. 
 
Alex is ok with this as long as you are. Do you support adding this role to IA2?
 
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Alex, 
 
I am following up on this earlier discussion regarding needing an IA2_LANDMARK_ROLE 
 
 
 
A fundamental change from ARIA 1.0 is we now have the role “region” as a descendant of a role of landmark:
 
 
 
So, this is the revised set of landmarks:
 
 
The reason for this is developers have been using labelledy regions as landmarks and in HTML5 we now have a section landmark which will default to a role of “region” if it has a label on it. 
 
Given this change we would like this a new IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK that matches the landmark role we now have in ATK/ATSPI. The xml-roles attribute would take the value of the actual role as we know. 
 
Is there any objection to introducing this new role in IA2?
 
We are trying to lock down ARIA 1.1 and this is one of the issues we need to address. 
 
Thanks,
 
Rich
