Jamie, Alex, Brett,
We need to reach consensus on the <form> element and role="form" mapping.
Can we agree on the following? :
1. that the IA2 IDL supports IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK and IA2_ROLE_FORM (so that old versions of FF and other applications using the form role can still work with ATs)
2. For Firefox updates here on out the <form> element and role="form" map to IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK and xml-roles="form"
This way AT vendors can check if something is a landmark to determine if something is a landmark and then expose xml-roles="form"
Eventually, it would be better to not have to make an exception for the Form role when all the other landmark roles are represented as IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK with xml-roles="form"
This and the other discussion items of the last 2 weeks are holding up 3 working groups - ARIA, HTML, and SVG.
