Description James Nurthen 2014-06-16 21:32:21 UTC
The sentence says 
"If the content and interaction is only supported in a scripting-enabled browsing context, i.e. Google docs (its applications require JavaScript enabled to work), it is not safe to include the ARIA markup inline."

If the application relies on scripting then it is safe to include ARIA markup inline OR via scripting.

This sentence states that in this case you cannot add ARIA inline which is incorrect. Please remove the not so this reads

"If the content and interaction is only supported in a scripting-enabled browsing context, i.e. Google docs (its applications require JavaScript enabled to work), it is safe to include the ARIA markup inline."
