Re: [aapi] aria-ISSUE-1015 (uia-express): Firefox interested in doing UIA-Express. We may need to un-deprecate it. [ARIA 1.1 Core Mapping Specification]

I also prefer the idea of adding notes to the UIA column. 

Alex, wrt the HTML-AAM, can you give me an impression of what from the existing MSAA + UIA Express column needs to be added as a note to the UIA column, for which elements and properties? Once that’s done, we can get rid of the MSAA + UIA Express column.

Thanks,

Jason

We need to figure out how best to document it.  Most of the mappings will be the same as the UIA mappings. What do you think is the best way to document the places where it's different? We could add notes to the UIA column where needed, or have a separate column where we copy the UIA column and add the notes.  I think I'd prefer to have a single column if we can, because it will be easier to maintain in the spec. Do you think that would work for you? We're not doing any more development on the implementation in IE, so you're the main customer right now.
