Last Call for Review of Proposed Corrections and Additions to ARIA in HTML

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has proposed corrections and additions to the W3C Recommendation of ARIA in HTML. This specification defines the authoring rules (author conformance requirements) for the use of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.2 and Digital Publishing WAI-ARIA Module 1.1 attributes on [HTML] elements. This specification's primary objective is to define requirements for use with conformance checking tools used by authors (i.e., web developers). These requirements will aid authors in their development of web content, including custom interfaces and widgets, which make use of ARIA to complement or extend the features of the host language [HTML].

Proposed corrections and additions are marked in the document. Comments, including implementation experience, are welcome via GitHub through 8 June 2026.
