Description Léonie Watson 2013-03-20 10:04:14 UTC
The opening paragraph of section 2 (Exposing HTML features that do not directly map to accessibility API properties), contains the following sentence:

"When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the API to
expose a text string, expose the undefined role, states and properties via that method."

Suggest a slight editorial change to the last clause of the sentence (for greater clarity):

"When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the API to
expose a text string, the undefined role, states and properties should be exposed via that method."

If "should" is inappropriate language for this section, then "can" could be used instead:

"When HTML roles, states and properties do not directly map to an accessibility API, and there is a method in the API to
expose a text string, the undefined role, states and properties can be exposed via that method."
