Summary: aria mapping for details and summary are problematic
Product: HTML WG
Version: unspecified
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson)
AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch
ReportedBy: faulkner.steve@gmail.com
QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org
CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org,

The details element has a default implied role of group and a restriction that
"Role must be a role that supports aria-expanded"
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/wai-aria.html#wai-aria
The 'group' role cannot have aria-expanded attribute applied. Roles that can
are button, document, link, separator and window. None of which appear
appropriate for the details element.
What is specified for details would be more appropriate for the summary
element. As in implementations (webkit/chrome) this is the interactive element
and is most likely to be implemented as a button in some API's that don't have
a disclousre triangle role.
Recommend removing summary form the first table and changing the row in the
second table that lists details under "Language feature" to the summary
element, leaving all the rest of the text that pertianed to details the same.
Recommend adding 'details' to the first table with a default implied role of
"group"
