Re: WCAG 2.0 AA and Zurb Foundation

Mark,

The oaa-accessibility.org examples are out date and I am planning to
redirect the website to the ARIA 1.1 Authoring Practices website.
The ARIA 1.1 Authoring practices include fully reviewed examples of ARIA
enabled widgets and design information needed for implementation.

https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/

Most widget section includes one or two example implementations, and the
source code is also provided.
