Re: 48 hour Call For Consensus regarding Resolutions from the May 19, 2016 ARIA Working Group meeting

Rich,

I would like to see treeitem dropped from the list. No one wants to use
treegrid and we see UIs with trees of complex widgets which should
naturally use tree style navigation between the them. If we include
treeitem in the list then you would not be able to call something a tree,
that looks like a tree and you want it to navigate like a tree, if the
leaves were complex controls that a user could choose to leave visible.
Again, no one will ever call a tree of complex widgets a treegrid when
where there is no concept of rows in the layout.

Suggested solutions for a tree that are compatible with treeitem only
having presentational children are work arounds such as having the widget
appear in a dialog when you click the treeitem. These 'solutions' are not
be practical when you have flows, card layouts, or block chains that have
branching. We are seeing lots of card layouts, block chains and
relationships expressed in web apps that would be negatively impacted by
this restriction.
