Steve, can you suggest text for this bullet on ARIA [1] to make it more accurate? Leif, if I recall correctly I think you suggested the text for that bullet. Would you be okay with adjusting if it is not accurate? Thanks, Best Regards. Laura [1] "aria-describedby kills off links: ARIA 1.0 specifies that anything that aria-describedby points to is presented to the user as if it occurred inside an attribute. Hence, if aria-describedby points to an element which is - or contains - a link, the link will be completely dead - the AT won't even inform the user about the link presence." http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc/AlternativesAreNotViableSolutions#aria-describedby -- Laura L.
