Hi Ben, > Where the ROLE attribute is defined, e.g. XHTML2, its value is also > CURIEs, thought this time it yields an xh2:role assertion (with xh2 the > XHTML2 namespace). The subject resolution is identical to that of the > CLASS attribute. As there is no "backwards compatibility" issue with > this attribute, all values yield triples > > e.g. > > <div role="wai:Menu nav"> > ... > </div> > > yields > > _:div0 xh2:role wai:Menu . > _:div0 xh2:role :nav . @role is already being used in non-XHTML 2 environments, and is even supported in Firefox already: <http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Accessible_DHTML> This does seem to be getting some interest, so the genie may already be out of the bottle. :) This post last year refers to the potential: <http://semantichumanities.wordpress.com/2006/08/22/accessibility-vs-semantic-markup/> And this one is as usual for the 'A List Apart' blog, a very thorough discussion: <http://www.alistapart.com/articles/waiaria> Regards, Mark -- Mark Birbeck, formsPlayer mark.birbeck@x-port.net | +44 (0) 20 7689 9232 http://www.formsPlayer.com | http://internet-apps.blogspot.com standards. innovation.
