matatk: PaulG and ADAPT will review this next week - we do need to review the document but it can start after next weeks review.

Issue tracking

CSS - Expansion of validity pseudo-classes

<matatk> tracking: w3c/a11y-tracking#305

matatk: PaulG will add a11ytracker to the issue now.

PaulG: Use case and examples looking for javascript-free example - fallback should be ARIA DESCRIBED BY applied dynamically so there is a conflict.

PaulG: More research is needed to get this working with AT properly. Janina wants to see it working and demoed

PaulG: The thread summarizes viewpoint.

Matatk will forward appropriate so we can have a larger discussion.

Stevef will also contribute to this.
