RE: Reminder: Call for Review: Before and After Demonstration (BAD)

Shadi,

I agree with Phil landmarks should be considered prime time.

We use them on the new disability web site at Illinois:

http://www.disability.illinois.edu/

The OpenAjax Alliance is building rules to support use of landmarks:

Now is the perfect time to implement ARIA landmarks.  They are supported by Firefox and IE and screen readers.  We shouldn't have to wait for a final spec, at least not for items that have no issues

Dear Jon,

Including WAI-ARIA examples is certainly something we would like to do
once the specification is out of its current draft status.

Best,
