http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12243 --- Comment #12 from Jonas Sicking <jonas@sicking.cc> 2011-04-23 06:10:18 UTC --- Ok, so it seems like we agree that the ARIA spec does not prescribe that the elements pointed to by aria-describedby should be treated as just their textnodes concatenated. Exposing the semantics of the elements it points to is allowed. As for aria-labelledby, it sounds like you are doing an awful lot of interpretation. First off, saying that "text alternative" automatically means that it has to be a string that doesn't contain semantics is a stretch to me. Why couldn't "text" as opposed to for example visual images? Are you basing your interpretation on something I'm missing? Also, I agree that step 2.C says that the textual content of an element is the textual contents of its children concatenated. However that step doesn't say how to build the text contents of the children, so it could certainly include the semantics of the children. Also, step 2.C only applies if step 2.A and 2.B hasn't yielded anything, and I those are the steps that bring up semantics. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
