A number of people including myself , Cynthia Shelly, Dave Bolter and Rich have started working on HTML to Platform Accessibility APIs Implementation Guide <http://dev.w3.org/html5/html-api-map/overview.html>. It is currently intended as a informative reference produced by the W3C HTML WG. The editor of the HTML5 specification has provided some feedback [1] on this document. I would appreciate some feedback from involved in the accessibility implementation space in regards to the usefulness of documenting the mapping between HTML elements and attributes and the roles states and properties in the various platform accessibility APIs. And what sort of information should be provided, if any. If as the HTML5 editor states; "the proposed document is unnecessary. Vendors have not shown an inability to read the existing normative specifications" then it would be good to know that is not needed and will not be useful to its target audience, so those involved can use their time on more productive pursuits.
