RE: W3C pages on landmarks query

Guy,

 

Thank you for raising this issue.

 

I think most of the groups publishing documents try to be pretty responsive. So please raise specific issues like this one directly with the group responsible for each document. It is helpful to have the support of the whole community. The working groups and task forces really do need community feedback.

 

That said, as one of the chairs for the ARIA Authoring Practices, I am aware of how challenging it is to manage a large backlog. Both Patience and constructive impatience are welcome.

 

Another challenge is that there are so many documents from so many different groups. Part of our long term strategy is to create more joint collaborations to consolidate and simplify accessibility authoring resources. This should help reduce the corpus of work that needs to be monitored for obsolescence.

 

Best,

Matt

That GitHub issue will solve this particular matter. However there are numerous places in various documents where parts of the original W3C guidance are out of date but are still left in as apparently valid guidance for unsuspecting people to follow. 

 

Would it be possible to at least add notes and comments to the documents in such cases? - as is done in the WCAG itself. Otherwise the W3C will seem more and more dated as time goes on.
