A backlog of sixty-eight a11y bugs on the HTML5 Spec await task force
decision of whether to apply the a11ytf keyword or not:

*NOTE: The data for this report was pulled before the Ian started
working bugs on Saturday. I'll catch those in next week's report.

Details are as follows.


1. WONTFIX BUGS:

1.1 Bug 10657: "integration of aria-autocomplete with the various
autocompletion mechanisms in html5" reported by Steve Faulkner.
Ian's Rationale: "Rationale: The request seems to be based on a
misunderstanding of the purpose of ARIA, as described in comment 1. I
would recommend rephrasing this request as a problem statement,
explaining it is that needs fixing, rather than saying what the fix
should be. In general it's very hard to evaluate proposals without
knowing what the problem is. In this particular instance, for example,
it's very much unclear what the problem is: what is it that is
inaccessible? What kind of Web pages would exhibit this problem?
Sample markup showing the problem would be useful; even better would
be examples of real Web pages demonstrating the problem."
