If XHTML5 used aria- *, using aaa:aria-* for SVG would leave a scripting and browser code path discrepancy between XHTML5 and SVG. > It is pretty, easy to use and intuitive - tick for Authors I think it isn't pretty, because aaa:aria-* has two prefixes, which is crufty. It isn't easy to use or intuitive, because the syntax and DOM differ between host languages. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
