Oohh, interesting, some lovely chicken & egg issues here. I tend to agree with Patrick where he said: > the name calculation should take into account placeholder (as a last resort For a browser serving it's users, if there is no other info for that input then that's the best thing to do. For a spec trying to get authors to do the right thing, don't mention the placeholder attr. Jon Avila said in a comment: > Would you allow the file name of an img to be used as the accessible name of the image if non-existed? I think that is the case in many screenreaders, at least for image links? Is this a case where it's good for the implementations and spec to diverge? (Very slightly.) The authoring advice is consistent, but the browser has a back-stop. Cheers, -Alastair
