Responder Rule assumptionsComments
Wilco Fiers Yes
Levon Spradlin Yes
Kathy Eng I don't know. My questions are documented below. Not clear on second assumption - it seems form fields that do not collect information about the user shouldn't or wouldn't have autocomplete. Is this assumption necessary given the first assumption that when autocomplete is present, it is collecting info about the user?
Trevor Bostic Yes
Mary Jo Mueller I don't know. My questions are documented below. Seems the 2nd paragraph in the assumptions indicate it is assumed this rule will produce false positives. For the last paragraph, the last sentence is not super-clear to me. If you qualify "If this is not the case" it would be clearer. I can't tell if the statement is indicating "If aria-disabled state is not used" or "if aria-disabled is used but the element is still operable". When you have a complex statement followed by a statement using "this" it is hard to parse if all of the things from the previous statement need to be true or some.

7. Other questions or concerns

Yes, I have questions or concerns, described below. 1
No, I have no further questions or concerns. 4

Details

Responder Other questions or concernsComments
Wilco Fiers Yes, I have questions or concerns, described below. The rule does not account for different types of disabled elements. Only the aria-disabled attribute. Inapplicable example 6 seems like it should be a pass instead.

- I'm not too keen on passed example 8. Can we find a better role for this?
Levon Spradlin No, I have no further questions or concerns.
Kathy Eng No, I have no further questions or concerns.
Trevor Bostic No, I have no further questions or concerns.
Mary Jo Mueller No, I have no further questions or concerns. Seems like Passed example 8 should be inapplicable since the widget role is no longer an input - it is overridden by ARIA but not as an input, select or textarea.

8. Rule is up-to-date

Is the rule up to date? If so, the accessibility support should still be relevant, it should follow the recommended writing style, and use up to date links.

Summary
