Hi all. Proposed text, NOT yet committed, for the new "switch" role follows. Any changes? <quote> A toggleable input that has two possible values: true or false. The aria-checked attribute of a switch indicates whether the input is on (true) or off (false). The mixed value is not supported, and user agents must treat a mixed value as equivalent to false for this role. NOTE A switch provides approximately the same functionality as a checkbox and toggleable button, but makes it possible for assistive technologies to present the widget in a fashion consistent with its on-screen appearance. </quote> In addition, under the definition for aria-checked, the switch role was added to the can't-be-mixed language there so that the new text reads: <quote> The mixed value is not supported on radio, menuitemradio, switch or any element that inherits from these in the taxonomy, and user agents must treat a mixed value as equivalent to false for those roles. </quote> --joanie
