Description Andi Snow-Weaver 2011-01-19 14:51:12 UTC 
James' comment: 

5.6.4. Group Position 

"""
If aria-posinset is larger than aria-setsize, user agents SHOULD use aria-setsize for aria-posinset.
"""

Why not the opposite? Seems better to just the posinset for the setsize

Or better yet, neither. Just use the literal values as defined by the author, even if they are in error. How will it hurt the user to hear "Item 8 of 6"? It should not be the UA's duty to second guess what the author intended.

I agree with James here. We don't need to prescribe this kind of auto-correction. We could just remove the text or make it a MAY.

Cynthia: +1

Removed the sentence.
