Although the author can draw any shape they like it was agreed that when the the coordinates are passed for accessibility that they provided as a best fit rectangle. I will also make this all clear in the next draft for review. I can live with that, but I'd like to request that the syntax be such that it can be extended in the future. e.g., "rect(x1, y1, x2, y2)" instead of just "x1, y1, x2, y2". Even if polygons are not supported in the first release, setting a finite coordinate syntax to only allow for one shape for would make it more difficult to change once the accessibility APIs are updated to allow for more precise focus shapes.
