I agree, and it's not clear to me how we even ended up considering a new generalized namespacing mechanism here. I consider the use of an underscore in the "aria" attribute names to be unacceptable from an HTML5 point of view, for the reasons I detailed in my last e-mail in this thread. I have not seen any rational and valid arguments against using the hyphen. I would also be happy with no delimiter at all (ariadisabled, ariachecked).

The underscore _doesn't_ work fine too, for the reasons I listed in my earlier e-mail in this thread. On the other hand, the hyphen works absolutely fine in SVG, indeed it is how SVG works in general -- almost all its attributes are hyphen separated! Any attributes we add to that namespace *should* use hyphens specifically for that reason. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
