I think this is an excellent change/improvement.

Subject: [Proposal] Addition of ARIA to the accessibilityFeatures list of
values

 

Hello everyone,

As we make improvement on the
<https://www.w3.org/2021/a11y-discov-vocab/latest/> "Schema.org
Accessibility Properties for Discoverability Vocabulary" 

 

I would like to propose including "ARIA" to the accessibilityFeatures list
of values.

Currently we have this under the accessibilityAPI with a definition of:

 

2.2.2 ARIA: Indicates the resource uses ARIA markup to improve
interoperability with platform APIs.





I propose to move "ARIA" from accessibilityAPI to accessibilityFeature
instead as I don't feel this makes sense as an accessibilityAPI.

 

Please respond by March 1, 2022 16:00 UTC if you have any concerns over this
proposed change.

 

Thank You
