Re: Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module

Bogdan, 

Do you have an ETA for the Core AAM mappings to be completed? You mentioned October for the DPUB-AAM.

I have been working on the test harness for ARIA 1.1 and I am at the point where I have to stop to wait for your mappings.

UIA is primarily User Interface automation accessibility framework and doesn’t contain strong semantic entities required for digital publishing, so most of the roles in the list would be expressed as combination of TextControlType with LocalizedControlType as well as some attributes on TextPattern.
