HTML WG, XHTML2 WG, PFWG, Not so long ago a proposal was posted to public-html and wai-xtech for a way to make ARIA work in HTML: http://www.w3.org/mid/OF2D24F329.A053FA4B-ON8525735C.00544B50-8525735C.0054A743@us.ibm.com I have over the past few days with help from Aaron Leventhal and others written up a draft for how this should work. The goals and constraints we had when writing the proposal were: * It should be possible to use in both (X)HTML and other vocabularies without the need for scripting. * The processing should be the same for both HTML and XHTML. * It should be possible to author new content that works in Firefox 2. * The number of different possible ways to use ARIA should be minimized, and include only variations that are necessary. * The proposal should be directly implementable in Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5. The proposal is available at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2007Sep/att-0106/aria-proposal.html The latest version is available at: http://simon.html5.org/specs/aria-proposal Comments welcome.
