Hi Laura, >There doesn't seem to be any ARIA mapping for figure and details ARIA does not have any roles that match the semantics of either element. >and meter is mapped as presentation. meter is not mapped as presentation, it has no default role, role=presentation is allowed to be used on meter as it is on any element as specified by the HTML5 editor. >From an accessibility perspective, to you consider these functional? Just because an element does not have a default ARIA role does not mean that a role will not be agreed upon and implemented across user agents, it only means there is not a role defined in ARIA that is a good fit for the semantics of the element. Guidance in such cases will be provided in the HTML to accessibility API implementation guide. As far as role="presentation" being allowed on any element, I do not think it is the best outcome. best regards Steve On 22 November 2010 21:14, Laura Carlson <laura.lee.carlson@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Steve, > > There doesn't seem to be any ARIA mapping for figure and details, and > meter is mapped as presentation.
