EOWG,
The PFWG would like to change the titles of the WAI-ARIA companion documents to:
# Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0
# WAI-ARIA 1.0 Authoring Practices: An author's guide to understanding and implementing Accessible Rich Internet Applications
# WAI-ARIA 1.0 User Agent Implementation Guide: A user agent developer's guide to understanding and implementing Accessible Rich Internet Applications
# WAI-ARIA 1.0 Primer: An introduction to rich Internet application accessibility challenges and solutions
# WAI-ARIA 1.0 Roadmap: W3C plans for addressing rich Internet application accessibility gaps
This is different from previous decision, which is documented in response to an EOWG comment many months ago, below[1].
If you have any objections, please bring it up in the EOWG teleconference on Friday 30 July, or by email by Tuesday 3 Aug.
Thanks,
~Shawn

Comment: For consistency with other WAI specs, consider the
following titles/h1s:
* Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 [without
"Version"]
Editor Response: I made this change.
Comment, continued: For consistency with other WAI specs, consider
the following titles/h1s:
* WAI-ARIA Primer for Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.0
* WAI-ARIA Best Practices for Accessible Rich Internet
Applications 1.0
* WAI-ARIA User Agent Implementation Guide for Accessible Rich
Internet Applications 1.0
* WAI-ARIA Roadmap for Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.0
[or no 1.0 needed?]
Editor Response: I think this is super-awkward. This is kind of like
saying "WAI-ARIA Best Practices for WAI-ARIA". I also don't see that
this change would make it more consistent with other WAI specs. The
other editors agreed that we don't want to make these title changes.
EOWG Response: We would like to have a short title for easily
referencing each document (as in the bullets at
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria#is>). We think it is best to have
WAI-ARIA both as an acronym and spelled out in the title. Another
option would be to use the acronym in the title, then write it out
in a subtitle:
* WAI-ARIA Primer: For Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.0
* WAI-ARIA Best Practices: For Accessible Rich Internet
Applications 1.0
* WAI-ARIA User Agent Implementation Guide: For Accessible Rich
Internet Applications 1.0
* WAI-ARIA Roadmap: For Accessible Rich Internet Applications 1.0
[or no 1.0 needed?]
This would be somewhat consistent with the naming scheme of the WCAG
supporting docs:
* Techniques for WCAG 2.0: Techniques and Failures for Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines 2.0
* Understanding WCAG 2.0: A guide to understanding and
implementing Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0
* How to Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable quick reference to Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 requirements (success
criteria) and techniques
NOTE: Please consider whether or not you need 1.0 in the short
title, the subtitle, or neither.
