That's an event type, not an attribute.

Indeed. Citing ARIA: ]] Related Concepts: XForms [XForms] 'invalid' event [[ 
I guess you meant to say that it should be possible to use @aria-invalid irrespective of whether the invalid event has been fired.
Comment 6 steve faulkner 2010-09-10 08:47:20 UTC
I was unsure about invalid, thanks for clarification leif.
the clarification requested is:
is it comformaing to have aria-invalid="true" without an invalid event being fired?

Yes, why would it not be? There are lots of ways something might be hidden.

That restriction wouldn't even make sense as far as I can tell.

Why would it not be?


EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale:

I don't really understand what I'm supposed to clarify here. We're not going to add to the HTML spec long paragraphs listing all the things that you are allowed to do with ARIA, that's ARIA's job.
Comment 8 steve faulkner 2010-09-28 08:39:55 UTC
 Wish to escalate as not not providing clear information to authors on how aria-* attributes should be used in conjunction with related HTML5 attributes is not helpful to authors.
Comment 9 Joshue O Connor 2010-10-05 16:02:40 UTC
This has been reviewed by HTML Bug Triage team, not yet a priority we suggest that Stevef verifies the status and adds incorporates any needed changes into the ARIA mapping document.
