AX: char marks for true/false need accessible clarification alternatives (prmNullFalse, prmNullTrue, prmOptFalse, prmOptTrue)

[cookiecrook]

The literal characters used for true/false in the "Nullable" and "Optional" columns of a method parameters table are not as accessible as they should be. The classes prmNullFalse, prmNullTrue, prmOptFalse, and prmOptTrue use the unicode characters ✔ and ✘. These characters are not spoken by many text-to-speech engines, and the ones that do speak them (e.g. Alex on Mac OS X) pronounce them as the literal unicode description: for example, ✘ is spoken as "heavy ballot x"

These should be replaced with a span clarifying how this is used, and the implicit text alternative.

✔
✘

The HTML was parsed for those. It should be:

<span role="img" aria-label="True">✔</span>
<span role="img" aria-label="False">✘</span>

[cookiecrook]

Ideally it will be the "text" role once that's added to the ARIA 1.1 spec, but that will not currently validate.

<span role="text" aria-label="True">✔</span>
<span role="text" aria-label="False">✘</span>

This is now fixed, thanks! It'll ship with the next release.
