Hi Ben, I did consult with Rich Schwerdtfeger* about this directly, to be both sure and clear of the assertions made. If you have documented proof that something stated is incorrect I would welcome that documentation. I know that in the past you pointed out discrepancies between the ARIA Spec and ARIA Implementation guide, and those were forwarded to the ARIA WG and they both reviewed and corrected at the PW F2F In Austin earlier this month. Changes have been made to the Implementation Guide. If you are aware of further discrepancies between how and what the specification states, please do bring that to the attention of the ARIA Working Group. If there are bugs in how certain browsers may currently process ARIA rules, I would suggest that they are browser bugs which should be filed with the browsers. Cheers!
