Re: WCAG-ISSUE-43: ARIA2 and PDF5 do not apply to SC 3.3.3 [HTML & ARIA Techniques TF]

Hi Jonathan,
Consider  a case where there is an asterisk next to  first and last
name fields (not part of field's label). And there is a middle name
field without the star. One  could bring the star within the label to
make it PD. Or one could place aria-required=true.   The star does not
go away when when one enters data into the fields. Are you suggesting
one should remove the star and aria-required or set it to false when
one enters data into the fields? The aria-required serves the same
purpose as the star and it can be PD. If I choose to review the form
before submitting it  I'll not know that I need not have entered a
middle name. This is misleading when a star is displayed only for 2 of
the 3 fields.
When form submission fails,  it is not good enough for SC 3.3.3 if the
PD text for first name simply reads the label and the word required.
That was read even before the form was submitted. The suggestion
should say something like "Please enter a first name"  for SC 3.3.3
compliance. And if this is done, do you not agree that aria-invalid
simply creates more noise for the end user? Refer to examples for
aria-invalid.
Thanks,
Sailesh
