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

Currently role=treeitem is not a composite widget, and as such nothing rendered within these containers is accessible. So not including role=treeitem in this list will not solve this problem.

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.
