@stevefaulkner Sorry mate, I reject that answer. There is plenty out there today that is not supported by the browsers that is still fully spec'ed out (I suggest you go look at how many @autocomplete attributes are supported in browsers today for example), and I for one personally think it's criminal that WHAT WG and the browser vendors, through lack of imagination or understanding, continue to give the giant middle finger to the non-sighted community. This is just another from the list of "Ghost-of-hixie-past" problems that remains with HTML5 today. @OwenEdwards The last time this was discussed, as I recall there was considerable thought to moving this into ARIA where the browser vendors will simply pass along the information to AT like all other ARIA attributes. I think it may be time to resurface this to the ARIA WG. Perhaps indeed it's time for @aria-posteralt JF On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 4:04 AM, stevefaulkner <notifications@github.com> wrote: > @OwenEdwards <https://github.com/OwenEdwards> while I agree that it would > be useful, browser vendors did not support this feature, without support > from browser vendors to implement, there is no use in defining it in HTML. > > — > You are receiving this because you were mentioned. > Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub > <https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/1431#issuecomment-388747712>, or mute > the thread > <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ABK-czle9AFw1ypa3ietRG-R-2lFxKf0ks5tyUiwgaJpZM4T64nu> > . > -- John Foliot Principal Accessibility Strategist Deque Systems Inc. john.foliot@deque.com Advancing the mission of digital accessibility and inclusion
