Why don't we make this an obligation instead of an encouragement ? If we don't make it a "must", web developpers are still gonna re-develop this tooltip using javascript (certainly in a bad and inaccessible way...) ?

If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Whether we make this MUST or SHOULD won't make any difference to what browser vendors or Web developers do, in practice. In theory, it's a SHOULD because there are times where you can't do it. For example, suppose that you are writing a Web browser for someone whose only possible way of interacting with the page is using a pointing device controlled by blinking their left eyelid. There's no point requiring that the writer of this Web browser also provide a keyboard, since it won't be useful to the user. 52621 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:03:11 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1
