Re: 7-day CfC: warning for password - closes 8 June

Hi Joanie,

I think you've answered your own question <smile> - you are correct, I do
not believe we cannot make the security/privacy requirements normative, as
we cannot enforce that, and equally, the @role value will work as designed
whether the author has taken these additional steps or not - this is and
has been the root of my concern all along, that the browsers are marginally
involved with any functionality here. I believe the best we can get today
is a strong Warning that this role simply conveys some information (this is
a password field), and impacts the way screen readers will process the
content inserted into the editable region, with no other security or
privacy functionality attached to it.

The original draft language proposed during the last conference call
started off with the word "Warning:...", however Michiel removed that
actual word, and instead used the warning class available in the ReSpec
(which is great BTW).

Returning to Michael's comment, are there any technical concerns, or
editorial concerns with the current draft that we should continue to
review? I'm hoping we can continue to meet the June 8th CfC closure date.

Cheers!

JF
