We too. Complex controls not covered by Aria 1.0 need that. Also e.g. complex data tables with special cell column row hierarchies, types and filter functions. Business apps in web environments have special needs for describing certain functionality generally not present in simple web pages. It is no wonder that this is not observed frequently since the amount of those pages is still not huge. - Stefan Sent from my iPad On 09.01.2015, at 18:00, Steve Faulkner <faulkner.steve@gmail.com<mailto:faulkner.steve@gmail.com>> wrote: On 9 January 2015 at 15:43, Marco Zehe <mzehe@mozilla.com<mailto:mzehe@mozilla.com>> wrote: As for actual usage: I have mostly seen aria-describedby used in examples to show what it does, but not really in actual accessible web apps much.
