Description steve faulkner 2010-08-29 12:06:58 UTC
Currently the aria section states for certain elements "ARIA restricts usage of this role to one per page" this is too vague. 
suggest changing it to something more accurate such as:

'usage of this role is restricted to one per parent element with a role="document"'

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: I just removed the parentheticals altogether, since they were a bit out of place... everything in ARIA has restrictions, it was a bit weird just to call these out specifically.
