Call for Review: Updated WAI-ARIA Specification

Dear WAI Interest Group Participants

The Protocols and Formats Working Group invites you to comment on the following updated document published 6 August 2008:
* Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 Working Draft
   http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/

WAI-ARIA defines a way to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities. It especially helps with dynamic content and advanced user interface controls developed with Ajax (also known as AJAX), HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies.

For an introduction to WAI-ARIA and links to related documents for Web site developers, please see:
* WAI-ARIA Overview
   http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria
* WAI-ARIA FAQ
   http://www.w3.org/WAI/aria/faq

The Working Group particularly seeks feedback on host language embedding, that is, how ARIA is implemented in HTML, XHTML, SVG, and other host languages. This is defined in section 6 "Implementation in Host Languages" and section 7 "Quality Assurance". Please send any comments
* by 3 September 2008 to
   public-pfwg-comments@w3.org
