Colleagues: This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) on a proposed updated response to Comment #424 on the ARIA 1.0 specification: https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/comments/details?comment_id=424 A RESOLUTION for a revised response was recorded during the regular weekly PF teleconference as logged at: https://www.w3.org/2014/01/29-pf-minutes.html#item06 The proposed updated response is recorded in the following resolution: RESOLUTION: remove from "select" role: "Authors MUST ensure elements with role option are contained in an element using one of the non-abstract child roles of select, such as combobox, listbox, menu, radiogroup, or tree." This proposed updated response was first proposed at: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-wai-pf/2014JanMar/0063.html In addition the following clarification is proposed for our updated response by: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-wai-pf/2014JanMar/0074.html The ARIA inheritance model is designed to define how we inherit states and properties as well as semantics in terms of a definition. Each role defines the allowable, required owned elements. This is to preserve hierarchy of aria roles so that we can ensure interoperability with assistive technologies In the case of menu we specify the following required descendants: group providing you have a menuitemradio as a child and/or and/or menuitem and/or menuitemcheckbox menuitemradio All web accessibility test tools use this defined hierarchy in the aria spec. to ensure properly formed user interface controls are produced. Please reply promptly on list to this email with any objections or concerns. Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses are encouraged. If there are no objections by close of business Boston Time Friday 31 January, this CfC will carry.
