Does not address Henri's third suggestion: <henri> I'm curious why a third way isn't mentioned: 3) Non-Namespaced Attributes for both role and states/properties with the latter prefixed with "aria-" (and no qNames in content but opaque strings): <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <g role="checkbox" aria-checked="true">...</g> </svg> Pros: * Matches what has recently been proposed for (X)HTML5 and XUL. Good both for implementation and author skill portability. * Fewer namespaces to deal with (i.e. easier). * Copy-paste-friendly. * DOM-friendly. (qNames in content are *bad* in the DOM.) * Not a chameleon namespace per se. The attributes would be in no namespace in XHTML5, SVG and XUL. * Semantics and processing can still be imported by normative reference from wherever they get defined for HTML5. No need to spec all this in the SVG spec. Cons: * Not what the WAI PFWG draft currently says. * Unorthodox in terms of XML architecture. </henri> Thoughts?

This makes sense to me. It's also good to have it said explicitly. -- - Tina Holmboe Developer's Archive Greytower Technologies http://www.dev-archive.net http://www.greytower.net
