Re: Update ARIA Examples: Live Regions and Tab Panel

Yes, some of the W3C specs themselves even break that rule, or at least 
used to,

Re: Update ARIA Examples: Live Regions and Tab Panel






Thanks, Aaron. I vaguely remember reading something from Henri Sivonen
about Firefox changing its accept header to prefer text/html, but
wanted to clarify that Firefox is still okay with
application/xhtml+xml when using XHTML 1.1. As the specification
states that XHTML 1.1 should not be served as text/html, I prefer not
to use text/html (I have this thing about rules that probably isn't
healthy).

Have a great weekend.

Thanks,

Gez
