This proposal seems sensible, but I have a question. >From the resources, on the figure description I can read this: "The element can thus be used to annotate illustrations, diagrams, photos, code listings, etc," In that sense, it seems that most of the elements that will be assigned this new ATK_ROLE_FIGURE role, has right now a ATK_ROLE_IMAGE. So, my question: * Is there any case of a FIGURE not being a IMAGE? * And the opposite, is there any case of a IMAGE not being a FIGURE? My main concern here is the usual of someone having problems to figure out which one should be used. I guess that this is not a issue on IA2, as I didn't find a ATK_ROLE_IMAGE equivalent here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Accessibility/AT-APIs/IA2/Roles > > Resources: > w3c: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/grouping-content.html#the-figure-element > example: http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_figure > TPG blog: > http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/2011/08/html5-accessibility-chops-the-figure-and-figcaption-elements/ > Mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658272 > IA2 thread: > http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2011-November/001550.html > > I would love to hear your feedback. > > Thank you. > Alex. > _______________________________________________ > gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel > -- Alejandro Piñeiro Iglesias _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-devel
