Rich, James,
FYI, Rich's post to the IA2 list was scrubbed and a link provided to the
original HTML attachment; however, it's not easy to read that way (see:
http://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2016-February/001996.html).
I'm hoping this reply will replay the email thread on the IA2 list in a
way that does not involve an attachment.

Hi James,
The ARIA working group would like to add an IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK to IA2
to align with ATK/ATSPI and to accommodate the changes to ARIA 1.1
which would make a region a landmark. This would be used in accordance
with xml-roles which would provide the actual landmark role.
Alex is ok with this as long as you are. Do you support adding this
role to IA2?
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Alex,
I am following up on this earlier discussion regarding needing an
IA2_LANDMARK_ROLE
http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/accessibility-ia2/2016-January/001993.html
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__lists.linuxfoundation.org_pipermail_accessibility-2Dia2_2016-2DJanuary_001993.html&d=BQMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=REZD8fc2AwufInstfW3L5jSLVS8bjZtAodDOhat7yAI&m=POKSeF-dBsUkYFlnFdl1Pcw8MH_TjUxJEggNluL7_20&s=pz6AynSyJ7ENUuA3DkZXkWt5zidMjoi05W9TWshbj8I&e=>
A fundamental change from ARIA 1.0 is we now have the role
“region” as a descendant of a role of landmark:
https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#region
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.w3.org_TR_wai-2Daria-2D1.1_-23region&d=BQMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=REZD8fc2AwufInstfW3L5jSLVS8bjZtAodDOhat7yAI&m=POKSeF-dBsUkYFlnFdl1Pcw8MH_TjUxJEggNluL7_20&s=mu08qOIVPLksq_1yC8aUhg5pwI-XNMtfYB8F38kri2Y&e=>
So, this is the revised set of landmarks:
https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#landmark_roles
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.w3.org_TR_wai-2Daria-2D1.1_-23landmark-5Froles&d=BQMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=REZD8fc2AwufInstfW3L5jSLVS8bjZtAodDOhat7yAI&m=POKSeF-dBsUkYFlnFdl1Pcw8MH_TjUxJEggNluL7_20&s=Uf082yQETbwaIuxZEhRBiDAaVw7INWWBZ1Mhceujm2w&e=>
The reason for this is developers have been using labelledy
regions as landmarks and in HTML5 we now have a section landmark
which will default to a role of “region” if it has a label on it.
Given this change we would like this a new IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK that
matches the landmark role we now have in ATK/ATSPI. The xml-roles
attribute would take the value of the actual role as we know.
Is there any objection to introducing this new role in IA2?
We are trying to lock down ARIA 1.1 and this is one of the issues
we need to address.
Thanks,
Rich
