RE: Registries and WCAG?

Hi Leonie, 

I saw a message about that to WG chairs, but my understanding is that we haven't created anything that would qualify as a registry. 

We've generally tried to refer to things externally (e.g. HTML, ARIA) rather maintain our own listing. For example, WCAG 2.1 has an appendix of 'purposes' for 1.3.5, but the main (practical) technique is to use autocomplete values from HTM 5.x. 

I could be wrong, the language was oriented for more technical groups but it felt like fitting a square peg in a round hole for us.

Cheers,

-Alastair

Subject: Registries and WCAG?

Hello AG,

I recall that there has been discussion about the use of registries with WCAG. If my memory is correct it was John Folio that first mentioned it, possibly in relation to storing things like the autocomplete values for
1.3.5 (Identify Input Purpose), but I may be wrong about the detail.

I'm mentioning it now because the W3 Process CG has been trying to figure out registries and could use some input from WG that might find them useful.

The issue is here:
