So, yeah, just like AXRole maps onto the WAI-ARIA role="" attribute, AXSubrole would map onto a hypothetical aria-subrole="" attribute, should such an attribute be added to WAI-ARIA. Luckily, aria-subrole="" can get the aria- prefix (like all other WAI-ARIA attributes but role="") because it doesn't have the compat issues that role="" has that prevented us from fixing its name.[1] Ted 1. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007Oct/0004.html
