Re: ISSUE-201: Aligning the two change proposals

Hi Steve,

Is there something unclear about this note?

"Thus, for instance, a user agent on a touch-screen device could provide
haptic feedback when the user croses over a hit region's bounding
circumference, and then read the hit region's label to the user.
Similarly, a desktop user agent with a virtual accessibility focus
separate from the keyboard input focus could allow the user to navigate
through the hit regions, using the virtual DOM tree described above to
enable hierarchical navigation. When an interactive control inside the
canvas element is focused, if the control has a corresponding region,
then that hit region's bounding circumference could be used to determine
what area of the display to magnify."

Right; if you need to assign states or properties, just use an element.

Right now! :)
