The example should probably group the links in a list element, and should also provide some sort of text equivalent to explain the purpose of each list and convey the difference between the two types of breadcrumb lists. 31840 1 cooper 2010-02-11 17:26:50 +0000 Per the proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html, the HTML A11Y TF does not plan to formally work on this issue at this time. This does not mean the TF has no interest in it, but does not have immediate plans to work on it. The TF may review the issue in the future. 32304 2 ian 2010-02-17 22:38:05 +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: I don't understand. It's not a list, it's a breadcrumb trail. Should I include some text pointing out that ATs are expected to read out punctuation between links like ">" to indicate the trail? Incidentally, the statement "there is no way for assistive technology to convey the hierarchy or relationship between the links" is wrong — the whole point of these rel values is to provide the semantics needed for ATs to do exactly that (convey the hierarchy and relationships).
