While I wasn't entirely happy with some of the history that led to the current state, I agree we should support it. (In particular, in the early days of ARIA I was told, in private conversations, that it was intended as a temporary measure until HTML5 was ready and had enough of the semantics needed. But I never asked the people telling me that that that intent should be documented publicly, and as far as I know there's no public record of it, and it probably didn't represent any consensus at the time. I'd probably have preferred that the semantics needed for accessibility were part of the semantics of the language rather than a separate add-on that can be inconsistent, but that's also not the way the Web platform works today. I did learn something about the value of working in public, though.) So I'll submit a review in support of advancing to Recommendation as-is. -David > On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 2:22 PM, L.

W3C Proposed Recommendations: WAI-ARIA (accessibility)
W3C recently published the following proposed recommendations (the stage before W3C's final stage, Recommendation): Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/PR-wai-aria-20140206/ WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation Guide http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/PR-wai-aria-implementation-20140206/ There's a call for review to W3C member companies (of which Mozilla is one) open until March 7. If there are comments you think Mozilla should send as part of the review, or if you think Mozilla should voice support or opposition to the specification, please say so in this thread. (I'd note, however, that there have been many previous opportunities to make comments, so it's somewhat bad form to bring up fundamental issues for the first time at this stage.) -David -- 𝄞 L.
