Instead of specifically referring to WAI-ARIA here, we could generalize this encouragement to other such cases. Something like this maybe: > When a hidden="" element is related to another element by ID reference > (e.g. with aria-describedby=""), User Agents are encouraged to expose > the full semantics of the hidden="" element to Assistive Technology. This might help alleviate PF's concern that HTML5 unduly specifies changes to WAI-ARIA in this clause. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
