@scottaohara it seems the ARIA spec. hasn't been updated yet. Is there another version of the spec, like a preview? |
|
there is a build issue which the ARIA spec needs to sort. the linked PR contains a preview of the updated spec with the changes I mentioned (the preview link is in the original post in the PR thread). until the build issue is resolved, the linked PR and the preview link it contains would be where to go to look. |

ARIA 1.3 will be updating to remove author name required from the roles alertdialog, dialog, form, grid, radiogroup and table.
instead, these are now identified as roles where authors SHOULD provide accessible names.
This change better aligns ARIA to HTML and WCAG, where names for these roles had no hard requirements.
As there are a few checks this tool does which appear to be based on these previous requirements of the ARIA spec, (e.g., such flags as "Interactive component with ARIA role 'dialog' does not have a programmatically associated name") we wanted to give y'all the heads up to this change.
