Update on ACTION-2036

Hello ,

This email relates to
ACTION-2036
Try to write the RNG for XHTML role module and respond to the email

Looking at the minutes
http://www.w3.org/2008/05/22-svg-minutes.html#item05
the resolution was to add role:

  Resolution: We will make a module that incorporates the role   attribute and work with Wai Aria as well as other domain experts to define a set of roles in our module

and this was done. The RNG is now there in SVGT1.2 rec. For example, the following (with role, rel and rev as well as the xlink role) validates:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?oxygen RNGSchema="http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGTiny12/relaxng/Tiny-1.2.rng" type="xml"?>
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <a xl:role="foo" rel="bar" rev="baz" role="toto">
        <circle r="50"/>
    </a>
</svg>

(Yes, those are bodies attribute values. I was just testing that the RNG has the attributes).

I therefore edited the title of the action to reflect the remaining part, which is to work with WAI PF on a set us useful roles for various types of documents (maps, charts, etc).
