Re: ARIA in HTML Draft 20 October 2020

James,

Thanks for your message. For reasons the ARIA in HTML specification is 
not maintained by the W3C HTML WG. It is currently maintained in the 
WebApps WG, and all discussions take place on the ARIA in HTML Github 
repository:
https://github.com/w3c/html-aria/issues/

If you could open an issue there, one of the editors of ARIA in HTML 
will be able to respond.

Thanks

Léonie

Specifically the role “doc-chapter” is defined as "A major thematic section of content in a work.”  The element <body> may receive the attribute epub:type “chapter”  assigning this thematic identifier, however “doc-chapter” is not allowed at that level. Additionally, <article> could serve as a “doc-chapter” since chapters could be considered complete (and be distributed as such), but they cannot carry the identification. Was there a less obvious reason why this mismatch exists?
