While the primary prupose at this time is to provide accessibility information to assistive technology, it is not intended as its exclusive purpose, as the WAI-ARIA spec states: "The WAI-ARIA specification neither requires or forbids user agents from enhancing native presentation and interaction behaviors on the basis of WAI-ARIA markup. Even mainstream user agents might choose to expose metadata or navigational features directly or via user-installed extensions; for example, exposing required form fields or landmark navigation. User agents are encouraged to maximize their usefulness to users, including users without disabilities." http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/introduction Request a change to the title of the ARIA section so the scope of ARIA is not so narrowly defined in HTML5 (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-0.html#annotations-for-assistive-technology-products-aria) and inlcude text simliar to the above to provide such guidance to all user agents. 34642 1 mjs 2010-04-08 08:13:38 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > Request a change to the title of the ARIA section so the scope of ARIA is not > so narrowly defined in HTML5 > (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-0.html#annotations-for-assistive-technology-products-aria) > and inlcude text simliar to the above to provide such guidance to all user > agents.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: While in theory ARIA could be exposed to other users, it would do a disservice to AT users to try to convince authors that ATs aren't the main target audience here. 34896 4 faulkner.steve 2010-04-13 08:21:04 +0000 Raised as issue 109 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/109 38517 5 cooper 2010-09-07 15:54:24 +0000 Bug triage sub-team notes that this bug is in the escalation process.
