Hey Matt, all. Regarding this: On 04/24/2015 12:09 PM, Matthew King wrote: [...] > It is kind of interesting that the examples are in figure elements and > that those map to group. I do not think that is a very helpful mapping; > I hope that is changing with ARIA 1.1. I took a look at the html examples for the figure element [1]. To summarize them: * The first example has a figure element whose children are a figcaption and a pre element showing code. * The second and third examples have a figure element whose children are a figcaption and img with alt text. * The fourth example has a figure element whose children are a figcaption and paragraph containing part of a poem. * The fifth example has nested figures (yay) but the nested figures are like the second and third examples, i.e. figcaption and img With this in mind, I would claim that a "figure" is a pretty generic container for which a caption is likely to be found. The meaningful stuff are the children. So I'll ask the same question Steve did later in this thread: What mapping would you use instead for the figure element? Me, I think they're groups. --joanie [1] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/semantics.html#the-figure-element
