ARIA 1.1. should define a formal modularization scheme for role values (via prefixes or some other means)

[cookiecrook]

My preference is for hyphenated reserved role prefixes:

pub-* or dpub-* for the DPUB roles
g-* or graphic-* (?) for the graphics/SVG roles
vendor prefixes -webkit-, -ie-, for experimental UA proposals.
etc.

Note: This syntax is valid ARIA 1.0 and allows clearer list distinction for both authors and implementors.

I am really only in favor of this if these well defined prefixes are mapped to stable URIs so that the combination of the prefix and term equal a URI that can be deferenced by data processing engines. I know that I have an RDF bias here, but there is no reason that we can't have tight relationships between our terms and the core underpinnings of the semantic web. See http://www.w3.org/TR/role-attribute and http://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-core/ for information about how we envisioned having additional vocabularies be defined.

Moving to ARIA 2.0 as we did not define formal modularization in ARIA 1.1 and it is not in scope for ARIA 1.2.

It seems this was effectively adopted (graphics- for graphics-aria, doc- for dpub aria).
