Subject: Change made to WAI-ARIA section
Sent by: public-html-request@w3.org
The following was added to the ARIA section of HTML5 yesterday
"Authors must not set the ARIA roleand aria-* attributes to values that
match the default implicit ARIA semanticsdefined in the following two
tables."
This was not part of any agreed change.
I request a revert of
