ISSUE-645: remove 'checkable' object attribute requirement from aria-pressed mapping requirements

remove 'checkable' object attribute requirement from aria-pressed mapping requirements

State:

CLOSED

Product:

ARIA 1.1 Core Mapping Specification

Raised by:

Alexander Surkov

Opened on:

2014-02-20

Description:

Originally it goes from NVDA [1]. A background is 'checkable' object is confusing on button since the button is recognized as checkable object (versus toggable) and also it's excess since both IA2 and ATK have TOGGLE_BUTTON role.

Discussion happened at ARIA mail list [2]. I checked with FS as Aaron recommended and they are ok with the change.

Wanted change is: remove 'checkable' object attribute requirement from IA2 and ATK columns of aria-pressed mapping [4].
