We are trying to clean up DPUB ARIA and DPUB AAM

Just so that we are on the same page:


1.      roles that subclass role “none” are not mapped. However, I think these should subclass section and just not be mapped.

TS: The only role that subclasses “none” is role =”doc-pullquote”. The intent is for AT to skip this element. Is your recommendation still to subclass section? The explicit direction should be for AT to skip the element.

2.      Accessible name and description should not participate in the DPUB AAM as you are not introducing attributes or native host language features that effect name computation. PS this is a copy and paste leftover form SVG

TS: I don’t remember at this point. Matt, do you remember how we determined this?
3. Should any of the DPUB ARIA landmarks subclass role “contentinfo” vs. “landmark”?
            TS: We intentionally excluded metadata elements from this vocabulary. However, I can see the case being made to make the following roles subclass “contentinfo”. I am interested in feedback:
doc-acknowledgments
doc-credits
doc-abstract (currently subclasses section)
