Thanks Rich.

Alex, Assuming these ARIA text controls are implemented with spans and since you said ARIA spans are implemented with IA2_ROLE_TEXT_FRAME, is IA2_ROLE_TEXT_FRAME a tri-state role for FF, where you need to expose IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE (ARIA text field) or IA2_STATE_MULTI_LINE (ARIA text area) or neither (text container but not single line and not multiline with CRLFs)?

That's great. However, we have an issue when the author creates a custom textfield or textarea with ARIA and we remove the property from IA2 we have a problem.

Re: [Accessibility-ia2] Deprecation of IA2_STATE_SINGLE_LINE

Firefox exposes single/multiline states on text fields only. So if
single line state is going to be deprecated and nobody uses it then we
could stop to expose it.

Thank you.
Alex.
