Re: non-landmark forms

My understanding of ARIA is that it **adds** accessibility but it does not replace the existing HTML accessibility features such as <form name-"Contact Form" Action-"xxxxx.....>
One of my screen readers is not good with aria!!!!

UAIG is the old name for the User Agent Implementation Guide.

I'm confused, because you didn't raise any concerns about this during the discussion when it was proposed last year, and you did participate in the thread.
Reference: http://webaim.org/discussion/mail_thread?thread=7419

This was discussed in the meeting minutes at
http://www.w3.org/2016/04/26-aapi-minutes.html#item05

I'm CCing the ARIA WG mail list here too because there appears to be some confusion about this that we need to discuss there.

Thanks Bryan. What is the UA IG?
