Re: ARIA Agenda Planning for Toronto

Just conversing about agenda planning with Rich, and some possible
approaches to think about ...

We could modularize and take up particular aspects of what we plan to
achieve in ARIA.Next as separate modules, on parallel timelines. The
parallel timelines plus the modularity are two key concepts to consider.

1.) We've more or less comitted to do ARIA 1.1 to sync with HTML 5.1
as the best specified, best tested a11y web environment to date.
However,

2.) That doesn't preclude people working on other modules in
parallel, i.e. input support, text editing, SVG, Epub support, etc.

Thoughts?

This is the part of the UAIG that has been removed due to lack of implementations. There are currently *zero* implementations in the tested accessible rendering engines, and I think that is because it was specified in such a way that it broke DOM Events, but I think we can fix it and make it work.
