Hi Steve, All I can say right now is that this is an area of functionality that we are following closely. I am on my way out of the office for a vacation. I will circle back with an update after the holidays.

For example, we are currently discussing implementation of the <time> element on a Firefox bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1095927 It looks like we have consensus (there) to expose the element name as an Ia2 object attribute role and the datetime attribute as an object attribute. The semantics could also be expressed via ATK and AX, but there appears to be no method to do so using MSAA + UIA Express, it would really be helpful for accessibility layer interoperability if a method be provided that is implemented in IE. -- Regards SteveF HTML 5.1<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/>
