Re: Question #2 on 4.1.1 Parsing - what it covers - ARIA? and How? - and SVG

I wouldn’t think that you could get a parsing error from an attribute in any way.  Whether you spell the attribute incorrectly or put in an incorrect attribute value, the information can be parsed, but may not be actionable on the part of the browser or AT if the attribute or value isn’t recognized.

The effect of these errors may or may not result in failures of 1.3.1 or 4.1.2 or 1.1.1 or other success criteria, but wouldn’t result in a 4.1.1 failure as far as I’m concerned.

Thanks,

Ø  I would like to agree with you Jon, but the criteria does not support this as written.

Understood on the duplicate attributes and missing quotes – but I do wonder if incorrect ARIA roles could potentially be seen as causing the elements to not be nested according to the specification.

I absolutely agree, a misspelled ARIA attribute or value would be a violation under SC 4.1.1 in my opinion.
