We are not asking that IA2_ROLE_FORM be deprecated altogether. Even with ARIA we have some attributes that re deprecated but that is meant so that there will be a replacement solution. An example is the drag and drop aria properties. For ARIA browser conformance testing to exit Candidate Recommendation we will be testing for IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK on form roles.

This probably doesn't apply to ARIA (at least for now), since role="form" is defined as only a landmark. However, I'd argue it does apply to the HTML form tag. So, I'm fine t not use IA2_ROLE_FORM for ARIA role="form", but I'm dubious about deprecating it altogether, including for the HTML form tag. > Jamie > > -- > James Teh > Executive Director, NV Access Limited > Ph +61 7 3149 3306 > www.nvaccess.org > Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NVAccess > Twitter: @NVAccess > SIP: jamie@nvaccess.org >
