    <thetext>The opening paragraph of section 2 (Exposing HTML features that do not directly map to accessibility API properties), contains the following sentence:

&quot;When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the API to
expose a text string, expose the undefined role, states and properties via that method.&quot;

Suggest a slight editorial change to the last clause of the sentence (for greater clarity):

&quot;When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the API to
expose a text string, the undefined role, states and properties should be exposed via that method.&quot;

If &quot;should&quot; is inappropriate language for this section, then &quot;can&quot; could be used instead:

&quot;When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the API to
expose a text string, the undefined role, states and properties can be exposed via that method.&quot;</thetext>
