ISSUE-655: Consider creating annotations roles for comments, spell-check errors, etc
annotation roles
Consider creating annotations roles for comments, spell-check errors, etc
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- ARIA 2.0
- Raised by:
- Cynthia Shelly
- Opened on:
- 2014-04-23
- Description:
- Proposal to support commenting, inline error highlighting, etc. in documents.
Office wants to be able to make these types of annotations more accessible. Commenting on a document is a pretty common scenario, and this would be useful to many web app developers.
We'd like to explore creating this as an extension spec. I have a person from the Office team who is willing to do the heavy lifting.

James Craig, 16 Jun 2014, 23:52:09We also need to think through the overlap with aria-linktype
