Re: properties for exposing custom Braille descriptions

I know ARIA does not, as a matter of working group decision, prescribe interpretation by assistive technology. Would it nevertheless be possible to set an expectation in this proposal that characters within the Unicode braille block (0x2800-28ff) should be supported, and should be presented on the braille device?  For other characters, translation to braille would of course be implementation-dependent.

Hi everyone,

As tasked in a previous meeting, I've written up a very rough first draft on the ARIA GitHub wiki at [1]. I've mainly copied and modified aria-label and aria-role-description. The draft includes several questions at the end.

As I mentioned on the call, NVDA had done an experimental implementation of such properties at a workshop in 2018 and Orca appears interested as well.

Thanks to Joanie and Sina for their help so far.

Best,
Peter.
