Call for Review: Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0 Working Draft

Dear WAI Interest Group and Digital Publishing Interest Group Participants,

We invite you to comment on a new Working Draft of Digital Publishing 
WAI-ARIA Module 1.0 at:
      http://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-aria-1.0/

Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0 extends WAI-ARIA 1.1 to define an 
ontology of roles, states, and properties specific to digital 
publishing. It facilitates automated processing and accessibility 
support by providing semantics that are not included in base languages 
such as HTML. It allows authors to convey structural information to 
assistive technologies, and to enable semantic navigation, styling, and 
interactive features used by readers.

Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.0 is part of a suite of 
WAI-ARIA-related specifications introduced in the WAI-ARIA Overview at 
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria>.

**For review*:*

This version includes new roles, removed the glossterm and glossdef 
roles, changes the prefix for role names from "dpub" to "doc", and 
refines the properties for roles previously defined.

**Comments*:*
Please submit comments by filing an issue in the W3C ARIA GitHub 
repository, using the "dpub" label in the issue:
    https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/new
or by sending mail to the publicly-archived e-mail:
    public-dpub-aria-comments@w3.org
by **15 January 2016**
