Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: Any AT that can't handle links separated by vertical bars is doomed
on the Web today. Huge numbers of sites do this. ATs have to support this to
remain competitive. Changing the authoring behaviour rather than changing the
ATs is not the right investment tradeoff (there are orders of magnitude more
authors than ATs).
I'm happy to mention this in the spec somewhere if that would help. If you
think that would be necessary, please reopen this bug or file a new one. If you
have any suggestions as to what advice to give AT users, that would be great.
Should we say something specifically about vertical bars, or should it be any
punctuation at all? (For example, are links separated by hyphens a similar
issue?)
