Combobox: Revise UA, AT, and checker guidance per agreed text in issue 1178 #1223
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Is this something that can be addressed in the APG rather than in the spec? This new edit feels like an informative note, but it's written in formal RFC-2119 prose. For example, the advice to user agents to continue to make the legacy pattern work is not something that should be a formal requirement of the specification.
The conformance checkers statement seems out of place, too. The term SHOULD (not MAY) requires conformance checkers to recognize a complex-and-deprecated usage pattern documented elsewhere, rather than a concrete pattern (warn if specific markup is thus).
Even the author requirement is out of place, IMO: "Authors SHOULD convert implementations of the ARIA 1.1 pattern to the ARIA 1.2 pattern."
It should be concrete or not there at all. I'd rather the paragraph be deleted entirely from the spec.
Alternately, remove all the RFC requirements from this prose and make the whole section an informative Note to explain what happened. |

I think this a pretty big change to make combobox work, so I support the additional information on conformance checking and authors in ARIA 1.2, once there is wide spread implementation of the 1.2 combobox pattern and it works with AT this information can be removed from the spec in future versions of ARIA. |

@cookiecrook, I have revised the information about previous versions of combobox to be entirely informative. |
