The localized control type should be the English equivalent. It is a
user-facing string (what Narrator says).

So “Epilogue” and “Glossary Reference”

Thanks for checking

Hi Cynthia,

I am working on the digital publishing accessibiility api mapping spec. We
have introduced some new roles that are prefixed.

Spec: http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/dpub-aam/dpub-aam.html


How do you want them to be exposed for the control type and AriaRole. Here
are two examples:


dpub-epilogue:
      Expose as text string 'dpub-epilogue' in AriaRole.
      Control type/role is group. Localized Control Type is based on
      AriaRole.

dpub-glossref
      Expose as text string 'dpub-glossref' in AriaRole.
      Control type/role is HyperLink. Localized Control Type is based on
      AriaRole.


      Are you happy with this convention? Or do you want me to expose the
      localize control type as the english equivalent of what should be
      said such as "Epilogue" and "Glossary Reference"

      Rich
