We're placing emphasis on different clauses as we read. Primary UAs make a lot of mistakes. I've worked on these lists for awhile now, and I am passing judgment: primary UA vendors are liable to make mistakes that harm the usability of secondary UAs. If you're a vendor, and you're going to start implementing behaviors based on ARIA, please, please, please make sure there is an on-off switch. That's what I'm asking. -Charles
