I don't believe any of the major browsers would have any problem, and my own testing seems to confirm this on various win32's, (why ROLE though? we already have supporting UA's for REL/REV, introducing ROLE seems strange, but I've not looked at the rationale behind it.) They're also exposed in the DOM of IE so tools could be built on top of it. > Of course, HTML WG are saying that XHTML 2.0 doesn't have to be > legacy-safe, but I am still concerned to come up with usages that are. I think in WAI terms, we do have to be legacy safe unless there's some incredibly powerful reason, anything that breaks current access technology is dangerous. Jim.
