The editor made changes in the conformance ARIA role conformance requirements on 2011-09-23: http://html5.org/r/6574 <http://html5.org/r/6574%20> This change contradicts the HTML working group consensus decision: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Mar/0005.html The associated bug http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13291simply states: "it doesn't make sense for <button> to be exposed as a link or radio button; it would just confuse users told to "click the button" " no further rationale was provided for the change. I therefore request a revert of the change. -- with regards Steve Faulkner Technical Director - TPG www.paciellogroup.com | www.HTML5accessibility.com | www.twitter.com/stevefaulkner HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives - dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/ Web Accessibility Toolbar - www.paciellogroup.com/resources/wat-ie-about.htmlReceived on Thursday, 6 October 2011 11:08:56 GMT
