I'm not certain what this would accomplish. On Dec 16, 2008, at 2:09 AM, James Craig wrote: On today's PFWG call, the group voted to include application as one of the ARIA landmark roles. The problem now is incorporation into the spec. All of the current landmark roles are inherited from the XHTML Role Attribute Module [1]. Because application is not one of the inherited landmark roles, we'll need to make some changes to the role taxonomy. The current proposal is to add an abstract landmark role as a child role of region; all of current landmark roles, including application, would inherit from the abstract landmark role. The relevant portions of the current and proposed taxonomy follow. Current inheritance model: * region * banner * complementary * contentinfo * main * navigation * search * other non-landmark child roles of region Proposed inheritance model: * region * landmark (abstract role) * application * banner * complementary * contentinfo * main * navigation * search * other non-landmark child roles of region 1. http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/#roleattribute_inherits
