One revision would be helpful. The WAI Consensus listed aria-labeledby, but did not explicitly list aria-label. This was identified as an unfortunate omission during the Birmingham Face to Face, and today's telecon confirmed that aria-label should be included. I would regard this as a clarifying editorial change. Can you--would you be able to make this revision? The next step is for me to compose a formal resolution and email this language to the list as a Call for Consensus. Without objections, it would then move to the HTML-WG as a TF recommendation. So, we may well make the 29 April deadline. That is still my objective, in any case. Janina > > Best Regards, > Laura > > -- > Laura L.
