HTML5 Accessibility Bugs
Overview
According to the HTML Working Group Decision Policy, Bugzilla bugs,"record a problem, and are given an initial disposition by the editor of the affected spec. If you want to report a problem, you should expect that you will have to file Bugzilla bugs, or convince someone else to do so." Details of what should go in a bug are explained in:
A copy of Bugs with the keyword "a11y" will go to the HTML Accessibility Task Force list at public-html-a11y@w3.org. If a bug reporter is dissatisfied with the bug resolution and does not believe it is productive to ask the editor to reconsider, he or she may pursue escalating a Bug to an Issue.
