As one of the Bootstrap team members, I wholeheartedly agree. I've had to hold back from implementing very specific patterns, because authors often "pervert" some of our widgets/structures for completely different purposes, so having a lot of fixed things like very specific ARIA roles etc would actually lead to pages that are even less accessible than without them, as there would be structures that are identified as something they're not (if that makes sense). > (This as well as the general impossibility for an external framework > to know one’s needs leads me to generally advise *against* external > frameworks [1].) > > Very brief take, maybe there’s discussion to differentiate a bit more. > > > [1] http://www.oreilly.com/web-platform/free/book-of-html-css-frameworks.csp > -- Patrick H.
