Yes please. Can't trust my e-mail to keep track of any of this.

Hi Andi, as a follow up to this on James' advice I filed a bug against
webkit and the bug has been processed
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78967

the AXDescription for  AXLandmarkContentInfo has been changed from
"content" to "content information"

do you need me to file comment on the UIA doc?


regards
steve

  Steve,

  I don't see a response from James on the mailing list. So that this
  doesn't get lost, would you mind filing a public comment on the UAIG?

  Hi all,

  The AXRoleDescription for contentinfo seems a bit useless in the UA
  implementation guide (and also implemented in webkit) given that  the "
  User agent should return a user-presentable, localized string value for
  the AXRoleDescription."

  It is simply 'content' which could refer to anything. it is not
  descriptive or indicative of what the contentinfo landmark role is
  supposed to represent:

  "A large perceivable region that contains information about the parent
  document.


  Examples of information included in this region of the page are
  copyrights and links to privacy statements." [1]




  Any ideas about why this generic term is used for or is it a bug?
