--- Comment #8 from Jason Kiss <jason@accesscult.org> ---
The text, "It is NOT really intended to mark up site navigation list items"
added regarding role="menubar" [1] seems at odds with David's anecdotal
evidence from the PF group in Comment 6 that menubar is fine for website
navigation menus. Does "site navigation list items" refer to a typical
horizontal site navigation menu with dropdowns, or does it mean a sidebar list
of links, or something else? It's also not clear what "NOT really intended"
means.
My understanding based on the ARIA spec and authoring practices doc is that the
use of menubar has more to do with the visual and interaction design pattern
applied to the menu, regardless of whether it is a website or other
application, and regardless of whether the "actions or functions" in the menu
are things like "open a document" or "take me to webpage x". In other words,
role="menubar" and related attributes are perfectly valid for horizontal main
navigation menus in a website as per the example at
http://canada.ca/en/index.html
Seeking clarification, please...
