On the call yesterday, Tzviya asked a great question about accessibility markup and W3C specs. Namely, why weren't we adding aria[1] tags to the HTML? My shaky answer at the time was that ReSpec adds this sort of markup to the spec automatically so authors don't have to worry about it. I just checked to make sure that's true, and it is. ReSpec adds the following aria tags: aria-hidden, aria-labeledby, aria-controls, aria-haspopup, aria-expanded, aria-label, aria-level, and aria-busy Whether or not this is adequate for all accessibility needs is another question, but ReSpec does seem to provide at least a basic set of aria markup automatically. -- manu [1] https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Veres One Decentralized Identifier Blockchain Launches https://tinyurl.com/veres-one-launches
