Landmarks technique rework

I had an action item to rework the landmarks role, and to combine the two existing techniques, and to incorporate comments from the survey.

 

Here’s the result of that

Sufficient Technique for SC 1.3.1 : Using ARIA landmarks to identify regions of a page


<jnurthen> some alt text results - http://jnurthen.users.sonic.net/alttext.html

<MoeKraft> When defining regions of a web page, authors are advised to consider using standard document landmark roles. If the definitions of these regions are inadequate, authors can use the region role and provide the appropriate accessible name.

<MoeKraft> region (role) # A large perceivable section of a web page or document, that the author feels is important enough to be included in a page summary or table of contents, for example, an area of the page containing live sporting event statistics.

-> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/rdf_model.png ARIA taxonomy

<MoeKraft> 5.3.4. Landmark Roles # The following roles are regions of the page intended as navigational landmarks. All of these roles inherit from the landmark base type and, with the exception of application, all are imported from the Role Attribute [ROLE]. The roles are included here in order to make them clearly part of the WAI-ARIA Role taxonomy. application banner complementary contentinfo form main navigation search

<David> typo "ta help"

<MoeKraft> Here's the guidance we provide in our checklist, "An application landmark should only apply to an entire region of the page that has a collection of UI components that form an application for which all keyboard handling is solely handled by the application. Since Assistive Technologies recognize widgets and pass keyboard control to them, there is seldom a need to use role="application"."

Sufficient Technique for SC 1.3.1 : Headings using role=heading

use cases for role=heading

- retrofitting a site where can´t change DOM element hierarchy because of script effects etc. but can make accessible with role=heading

- headings go down to a level 7 which can´t be represented in HTML but can with role=heading aria-level=7
