review.state.done

Define the HTTP Refresh header

[OK] Using refresh in some ways can be a WCAG failure, but as this change only codifies what already exists, it's already covered by WCAG.

Remove the pending dialog stack in favor of the top layer

[OK] This improves robustness of handling modal dialogs. The spec requires that browsers mark everything except the top-most modal dialog as inert. Currently support for the dialog element is not mature across the board.

Make noopener stop the copying of session storage

N/A

Make synthetic mouse events composed

[OK] The "composed" attribute of an event indicates whether it can cross from the Shadow DOM into the main DOM. It seems to be widely agreed between browser developers that UA-dispatched (synthetic) click events should be composed, and this is prescribed by the UI Events spec (). Ref also 84d96dfd

Regression fix for document.all(undefined)

N/A

Fix form inheritance behavior for autocapitalize

[OK] This expands the set of elements within a form that can inherit the autocapitalize setting, so is not directly related to accessibility. Notes on autocapitalize itself can be found in the PR review log.

Stop using textContent in normative text

N/A

Generalize the description of aborting downloads

N/A

Make CustomElementConstructor exceptions more consistent

N/A

Add autocomplete=one-time-code

[OK] When used well, the ability to flag fields as containing a one-time-code can improve accessibility (by improving usability for all, and particularly saving time for people using assistive technologies, as they save time in having to dismiss a "Save this password?" prompt, or their UA may enter an incoming code for them). It has the potential to be misused, as noted in the comments, but doing so would likely be a WCAG 4.1.2 failure anyway.

JSON module support

N/A

Update URLs for [ARIA] and [HTMLAAM]

Use [[GlobalEnv]] in event handler's current value

N/A

Refactor the navigation algorithm

N/A

Require UTF-8

N/A

Add element.focus({ preventScroll: true })

[OK] Whilst this could be misused, it also allows cases such as https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/834#issuecomment-295643901 which can improve UX and accessibility in such situations. As this is also something that developers have to request, and not a new default, it is a potentially helpful addition. Perhaps if misuse of it is noted in the wild, a note could be added, but this is not something that seems necessary at the moment.

Add some examples for <figcaption>

[OK] This clarifies the purpose of the figcaption element. Other already-existing examples given in this section of the spec illustrate the difference between image alt text and the figcaption, which is helpful.

Queue a task to run all the autofocusing steps

[OK] This fixes the specification of the existing behaviour and also explicitly mentions that the user may have the option of disabling autofocus, which could help improve accessibility.

Reference SVG 2

[OK] SVG 2 has provisions for improving accessibility.

Fix 'scroll an element into view' invocations

Change textarea's relevant value to its API value

N/A

Clamp selection and text entry cursor position on value changes

N/A

Treat trusted contextmenu events as user activation

N/A

Add iframe's allow="" attribute to the indices

N/A

Add the enterkeyhint="" attribute

[OK] This change can help UX and therefore everyone, though UAs would need to provide suitable labelling/alt text for the icon they place on the software keyboard Enter key, if they are only going to display an icon visually.

Integrate with the Long Tasks spec

N/A

Integrate with requestIdleCallback

N/A

Make innerText getter not run the algorithm on the element itself

N/A

Clone form data after dispatching the formdata event

N/A

Clarify Window's focus() and blur()

[OK] This does not make significant changes compared to the HTML 5.2 CR, though refines the behaviour and makes suggestions that reduce attack surface and encourages UAs to give users more control of Window-level focusing. It does not change element-level focusing.

Make the formdata event bubble

N/A

The invalid event can fire on the form element

N/A

Add form.requestSubmit()

N/A

Introduce form-associated custom elements

N/A

xxx-large is now a font-size value

[OK] This improves accessibility by adding a standard xxx-large font-size value, as agreed in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3907

Remove table border-color special case (doesn't match reality)

[OK] This makes a change from a default colour with sufficient contrast to another default colour with even more contrast, though several browsers had already adopted the even-higher-contrast colour.

Rendering: update when an image creates a replaced box

[OK] The alt text for the image is still displayed.

Rewrite event handlers section for more rigor and correctness

N/A
