Cynthia Shelly, 11 Nov 2014, 20:23:58That email thread seems pretty healthy. Is this bug about getting consensus?
David Bolter, 13 Nov 2014, 21:16:02And by bug I mean action :)
David Bolter, 13 Nov 2014, 21:16:35This bug/action is about what the contents of the role mapping table should be for MSAA+IA2 when role="text".
28-Sep-2015:
Added IA2_ROLE_TEXTFRAME for MSAA+IA2 to role map entry for role="text".

James Teh repilied that IA2's mapping might be better if there is no accessible for the element, but IAccessibleText is implemented:
