My first sentence was about the "separation of content and presentation". As ARIA has nothing to do with presentation, it should not be inserted into CSS. But your idea to use CSS selector to build-in ARIA instructions is interesting. Perhaps the UA maker have advices about the parsability/implementability of your proposal ? -- Olivier G. http://www.lespacedunmatin.info/blog/
