RE: alarm bells - was Special meeting this Thursday regarding Personalization Semantics

For the record, I still have concerns about these ARIA HTML mappings, because I've been doing extensive testing and they don't reflect what accessibility APIs are actually mapping. E.G this document says many ARIA role plus element combinations are invalid, yet they are still mapped to the referenced ARIA role in the accessibility API in ways that do not harm accessibility, so the information is incorrect.

The rules for using ARIA in HTML are defined here:
https://w3c.github.io/html-aria/


The Github repo is here:
https://github.com/w3c/html-aria/


This is the specification that determines which ARIA attributes may be used in HTML, and under what circumstances.
