For example, will :checked apply to the following? <li role="menuitemcheckbox" aria-checked="true">Sort by Last Modified</li> Please include an explanation that describes this interaction and include additional bullet items for applicable selectors (ex. for :checked, any other element that has an aria-checked state). 31038 1 hsivonen 2010-01-14 13:01:15 +0000 I'd expect :checked not to match aria-checked=true, because: 1) ARIA is supposed be AT-sensitive without having other side effects (unless explicitly styled with attribute selectors). 2) Attribute selectors can be used with ARIA anyway. 31784 2 cooper 2010-02-11 17:18:33 +0000 The HTML Accessibility Task Force intends to track these issues, per the proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html. 32531 3 ian 2010-02-23 06:28:07 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Wouldn't this be a question for for either the ARIA spec or the Selectors spec? (As it happens I concur with hsivonen and don't think ARIA should affect selectors, but that doesn't seem to be in the HTML spec's bailiwick.) 39747 4 cooper 2010-09-28 15:49:19 +0000 http://www.w3.org/2010/09/28-a11y-bugs-minutes.html Josh to get PFWG to address this issue with CSS WG, will cycle back to this when that issue is closed. 39970 5 dbolter 2010-09-29 15:44:32 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > I'd expect :checked not to match aria-checked=true, because: > 1) ARIA is supposed be AT-sensitive without having other side effects Agreed 100%. 40636 6 cooper 2010-10-05 15:33:23 +0000 Bug triage sub-team has decided that this bug does not need to be addressed in the context of the HTML specification, but can be incorporated into the ARIA to HTML mapping document that is under development.
