Dear Henri Sivonen:

Thank you for your comments on the 18 January 2011 Candidate Recommendation
of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/CR-wai-aria-20110118/). The Protocols and
Formats Working Group has reviewed all comments received on the draft. We
would like to know whether we have understood your comments correctly and
whether you are satisfied with our resolutions.

Please review our resolutions for the following comments, and reply to us
by 27 January 2014 to say whether you accept them or to discuss additional
concerns you have with our response. If we do not hear from you by that
date, we will mark your comment as "no response" and close it. If you need
more time to consider your acknowledgement, please let us know. You can
respond by email to public-pfwg-comments@w3.org (be sure to reference our
comment ID so we can track your response). Note that this list is publicly
archived.

Please see below for the text of comments that you submitted and our
resolutions to your comments. Each comment includes a link to the archived

Note that if you still strongly disagree with our resolution on an issue,
you have the opportunity to file a formal objection (according to 3.3.2 of
the W3C Process, at
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#WGArchiveMinorityViews)

the proposed recommendation transition meeting with the W3C Director,
unless we can come to agreement with you on a resolution in advance of the
meeting.

Thank you for your time reviewing and sending comments. Though we cannot
always do exactly what each commenter requests, all of the comments are
valuable to the development of Accessible Rich Internet Applications
(WAI-ARIA) 1.0.

Comment 357: "Any real numerical value" is not properly defined
Date: 2011-05-24
Archived at: UNSET
Relates to: Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 - 6.2.4. Value <http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/CR-wai-aria-20110118/#propcharacteristic_value>
Status: Proposal not accepted

Your comment:
-------------
The spec doesn't say what the syntax for "Any real numerical value" is. As
a result, it's impossible to determine, which of these would be valid:
1.0
1.
.3
0.3
+1
1
-1
-1.0
.0e7
2.0e+7

--------------------------------
Response from the Working Group:
--------------------------------
The syntax for expression of numerical values is not defined in ARIA
because this is left to the host language. HTML 5 would be able to use your
syntax for HTML implementations. The "State and Property Attribute
Processing"
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/host_languages#state_property_processing
section states this: "State and property attributes are included in host
languages, and therefore syntax for representation of their value types is
governed by the host language."
