    <thetext>FWIW, the UIA+Express columns were removed from the mapping tables in the core-aam [1].

The associated tracker item is &quot;ACTION-1717: Remove the MSAA plus UIA express column&quot; [2], and is waiting Cynthia&apos;s confirmation.

    <thetext>Alex,

What&apos;s the situation with Firefox and UIA? Given that both CORE-AAM and ACCNAME-AAM have removed the MSAA+UIA Express columns [1], do you have any objections to us doing the same for HTML-AAM? 

The suite of AAMs should be consistent in the APIs they address, IMO. Getting rid of this column would also solve some other bugs, or at least one, bug 16629.

    <thetext>(In reply to Jason Kiss from comment #3)
&gt; Alex,
&gt; 
&gt; What&apos;s the situation with Firefox and UIA?

Currently we stick with a plan which is to build UIA on top of MSAA. I&apos;m not sure though what are current MS recommendations about UIA implementation.

So no active development so far, however sooner or later I think the project gets more attention.

&gt; Given that both CORE-AAM and
&gt; ACCNAME-AAM have removed the MSAA+UIA Express columns [1], do you have any
&gt; objections to us doing the same for HTML-AAM? 

I&apos;m not quite sure what&apos;s reasoning behind the removal of that column taking into account Firefox has some implementation for it, but I would say that HTML and CORE specs should be in sync.

&gt; The suite of AAMs should be consistent in the APIs they address, IMO.

agree

&gt; Getting rid of this column would also solve some other bugs, or at least
&gt; one, bug 16629.

is a root problem here because MSAA+IA2, MSAA+UIA and UIA columns may be in conflict?</thetext>

    <thetext>(Book keeping)

There is a reference to a tracker action in comment 3, but those tracker items have migrated to the new ARIA tracker.  Here it the new url:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/actions/1717


Also, Cynthia has a related action-1706 to write up a statement regarding the &quot;deprecation&quot; of UIA Express mappings.  It&apos;s currently in progress:

    <thetext>I guess the plan here is blocked on https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/actions/1706 (Alex?)

Cynthia there are no MS current plans to un-support UIA Express in the near future correct?

Personally I don&apos;t mind whether this blocks the 1.1 spec or not I&apos;m more interested in making good decisions WRT gecko support. I also think I&apos;m fine with just putting Express notes in the main UIA column if that makes sense.</thetext>

    <thetext>Moved relevant info from msaa+uiaexpress columns into msaa+ia2 columns,
and deleted msaa+uiaexpress columns from both tables.
