Change application elements from landmarks to structures. I don't know if it matters. It might. For AXAPI, role="application" will remain a landmark. The mapping is (note the sub-role): - AXRole: AXGroup - AXSubrole: AXLandmarkApplication - AXRoleDescription: 'application' That means ATs that hook into AXAPI will see elements marked with role="application" as landmarks. An example is VoiceOver, and maybe Orca with WebKitGTK. But other ATs on other platforms will no longer see a "landmark" semantic. Is this an interoperability problem? -- ;;;;joseph.
