Hi all, so in regards to the clarification i am seeking I found that the spec text is in one of the diffs: (thanks for adding the links to the diffs in the proposal) http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7028&to=7029 If any of the following conditions are met, throw a + > <code>NotSupportedError</code> exception and abort these + steps. > ... > > The arguments object's control member is not null but is neither an a > element that represents a hyperlink, a button element, an input element > whose type attribute is in one of the Checkbox or Radio Button states, > nor an input element that is a button. > This strongly suggests to me that no ARIA custom control can be referenced by the control() method unless it is built on top of of one of the listed elements. And the vast majority of HTML elements cannot by referenced by control, including interactive elements such as <input type=text> or <input type=range> etc. regards SteveF
