“To be clear, this will certainly create problems in the future should we introduce an API that allows for caret movement and editing by the author. This was one of the ARIA 2 use cases. Although it is not a problem today this text lacks vision as to where we are going and it will need to be changed - probably in ARIA 2.”

 

Can you explain this a little more Rich? Thanks.

 

Léonie.
