That would be simpler. ... basically make the host language draw a line in the sand for particular elements.

Hi Al, I believe there is no need for the middle "weak" concept. We only need strong or no semantics. The semantically strong constructs are immune from ARIA.: Also, for each construct specified, whether they have a default ARIA role or provide additional ARIA properties is an additional, separate decision. So, this document would ultimately be simplified into two groups: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/aria-html5-bis/ FWIW, Henri Sivonen, the original author of the strong/weak/no concept, agreed that it's a good simplification. - Aaron From: Al Gilman <Alfred.S.Gilman@ieee.org> To: W3C WAI-XTECH <wai-xtech@w3.org> Date: 12/04/2008 03:24 AM Subjec WAI-ARIA language providing for strong and weak implicit semantics t: from host language. Re: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/67 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2008Dec/att-0011/01-part This is a 'scratch draft' that is to say forked from the main line of Editor's draft versions. It is a strawman rewrite of 6.2 and 7.3 to make room for host languages to provide built-in semantics that takes over from ARIA markup where appropriate. Please read over the draft and see if there is a) a simpler way to say it that is still correct. b) anything we missed. Al
