ISSUE-85 ======== SUMMARY Don't allow people to use ARIA to write inaccessible documents. RATIONALE ARIA is useful for authors who need to make new widgets that HTML doesn't yet support. Buttons are supported by HTML, and therefore there is no reason for an author to make a link act like a button to ATs. Making a link act like a button to ATs while leaving it as a link for non-AT users will lead to non-AT users having a confusing experience, since the author will think the link is going to appear as a button to users and may refer to it as such. DETAILS No change. IMPACT POSITIVE EFFECTS Encourages authors to use HTML as intended. NEGATIVE EFFECTS None. CONFORMANCE CLASS CHANGES None. RISKS None. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,. Things that are impossible just take longer. `._.-(,_..'--(,_..'`-.;.'
