(Bcc to the feedback address for the ARIA spec, Cc to the related discussion group) (1) The aria spec currently states (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#host_general_role) that role must be a space-separated list. It does not bar two of these tokes both being aria roles. Therefore it is possible to have multiple aria roles on the same element. Is this intentional? (2) The html spec currently states (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#annotations-for-assistive-technology-products-aria) that role may not be used in "conflict with the strong native semantics". (2a) If it is possible for an element to have multiple roles, how is conflict possible? (2b) Does an explicit author-assigned role augment or replace the roles derived from native semantics? (And is the answer different for strong vs weak native semantics.) -jJ
