Subject: Prohibiting naming certain roles

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.

Please review the following PRs and add comments in the PRs as needed.

TLDR : These PRs make aria-label and aria-labelledby prohibited for authors to use on certain roles. There is a corresponding minor change to ACCNAME which requires the algorithm to ignore aria-label and aria-labelledby on prohibited roles at the root node only -  but allows the algorithm to remain the same when encountering something where naming is prohibited on other nodes in the algorithm.

Please read and review for full details.

ARIA spec PR - https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/985


  *   Githack version - https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria/DisallowLabel/index.html

  *   PrPreview diff version (bad formatting)- https://pr-preview.s3.amazonaws.com/w3c/aria/985/971b418...8ea7b26.html

Accname PR https://github.com/w3c/accname/pull/53


  *   Githack version - https://raw.githack.com/w3c/accname/issue-52/index.html#step1


(note – the ARIA PR #985 needs the changes to aria.js and common.css in https://github.com/w3c/aria-common/pull/33 removing from it - I’m simply including them now to facilitate review)

We will aim to merge this on Thursday June 27 unless there are substantive comments which cannot be addressed in a timely way.

Regards,
James
