Re: Spelling feedback for FPWD: WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices 1.1

Please only use the capitalized form when you are expanding the acronym ARIA. Normal use in sentences should use standard sentence case: only capitalize the first word in the sentence.

While we’re on the subject, you should only capitalize 'web' and 'internet' when that are used in the form of a proper noun, not when used as an adjective. E.g. Capitalize “pages on the Web” but not “web pages.”  Likewise, “history of the Internet” but not “internet history” unless you’re expanding an acronym like: “Internet Service Provider (ISP)”
