Description Matt May 2005-02-08 23:06:08 UTC 
From HTML WG comments:

- Guideline 1.5

In XHTML 2.0 we are introducing the role attribute and other important meta
data which is important for authoring tools. This includes search for text
equivalents for non-text objects. Does this include things like role meta
data which includes additional semantics vs. simply a text alternative?
This is not clear. It should be clarified either in the document or its
techniques.

How do the navigation techniques here map to UAAG 1.0? Where is the
reference to UAAG 1.0?
