Need help verifying accuracy of guidance for aria-valuemin, aria-valuemax, and aria-valuenow

Hi All,

 

We have a PR for adding guidance for range related properties. It is very
close to final. However, we need to give it a bit more scrutiny. It
contradicts itself in a few places.

 

The information in the table in section 8.1 that describes the requirements
in the ARIA specification, which values are required and what default values
they have, does not always agree with the prose in the subsequent sections.
I'd be happy to make them align by changing the prose where appropriate.
But, I'd like to first have the information in the table verified by at
least 2 people.

 

This is a relatively straightforward task: compare the information in the
table to the information in the ARIA spec for each of the 5 roles listed in
the table. Then, add a comment in the pull request if you find a
discrepancy. If you do not find a discrepancy, add a comment that says the
values in the table in section 8.1 match the ARIA spec.

 

The only complicating factor is that the ARIA spec for meter will be
changing. So, for meter, it is important to look at the revised version of
the spec instead of the current master.

 

Here are all the necessary links:

1.	The APG branch with the table in section 8.1. This link goes right
to section 8.1:

2/aria-practices.html#range_related_properties_using_aria-valuemin_aria-valu
emax_and_aria-valuenow

2.	The current master branch of the ARIA spec:

https://w3c.github.io/aria/

3.	The branch of the ARIA spec where meter has been changed:

https://pr-preview.s3.amazonaws.com/w3c/aria/pull/1129.html

4.	The APG pull request where we need the comments:

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1279

 

Thank you!
