Re: Best citation format for accessibility

And to connect this back to Olaf’s comment – I don’t understand what this has to do with ARIA.

Application of semantic knowledge to content MAY be useful for the purposes of accessibility but it is (IMO) more relevant for many other areas such a search & index, content reuse, etc.

So in this particular spec, the use of role seems perfectly reasonable, since that’s applying the semantic aspect of better describing what a particular “section” really is.  But why do I also want/need the extra ARIA bits?!?!

Which also raises an interesting question, Bill.

Is there any reason that the epub:XXXX attributes are restricted to an EPUB?  Could they be used online or in other publication types?   And if so, would it be better to recast them as “dpub” or “pwd” in order to make them more general purpose?

Work is ongoing on moving the epub structural semantics vocabulary to ARIA roles:
