Spec Review/Math
Under review:
John Gardner
"math" role
User agents should treat all <math> elements as having the "math" role unless explicitly overridden.
Janina to ask John to file bug Note Bug 10438 (wontfix) already exists - we decided to reopen that bug and request it be a tracker issue.
Alt text
User agents should treat a <math> element's "alttext" attribute as equivalent to an "aria-label". When present, this text should be added to the AT agent's speakable buffer in place of a plain-text rendering of the math symbols.
issue for MathML spec
Janina to ask John to file bug, not sure if this is for MathML spec to clarify or if it's particular to the integration of MathML in HTML Bug 13647
