Hi all. During today's ARIA concall we discussed my text for action-2080 in relation to the text Michael wrote for action-2079. The conclusion was that the following sentence should be added to my existing text: "Host languages SHOULD document that the password role can only be used on elements that are editable and not permanently read only." That has been done [1] in my branch [2]. The new proposed text to address both action-2079 and action-2080 is as follows: <quote> Authors SHOULD limit the use of the password role to single-line elements which are editable. Authors MAY use the password role on elements which are not currently editable due to application-specific conditions. However, in that instance, authors MUST indicate that the element is read only by setting aria-readonly to true or using the appropriate native host language attribute. User agents MUST ignore the password role when it is applied to elements which are neither editable nor explicitly marked as read only. Host languages SHOULD document that the password role can only be used on elements that are editable and not permanently read only. </quote> --joanie [1] https://github.com/w3c/aria/commit/9636157 [2] https://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/action-2080/aria/aria.html#password
