Hi Colin, Just to be clear, this is an aria property and not a role (object type). That said, you could definintely tag the fluid components with a unique id. I will suggest module-id or component-id to the WAI-ARA SC meetings.
Thanks for your kind words about the presentation. This project is fantastic! We need to get industry to replicate this. We also need more universities to participate. I think attendees were very pleased to see this was being done for open source education solutions. I don't see many of the proprietary vendors in the education space using this approach. In fact, the accessibility of many of the proprietary solutions appears quesionable - never mind the usability of them.

Any suggestions? > If I understand it correctly, the ARIA template-id role is intended to provide a unique identifier for a chunk of dynamic markup and behaviour, so that assistive technologies have a hook for custom scriptability. For example, a user may create a custom JAWS script for Gmail. If someone embeds Gmail within another page or context, perhaps in a mashup, the template-id will provide an identifier to the assistive technology so that it knows to use this custom user script. Assuming I'm correct in my understanding (thanks to David Bolter's great blog post), there were a couple of ideas we bounced around in the Fluid channel today: module-id component-id I would guess that we'll probably tag all of our Fluid components with unique template-ids. > As an aside I worked on a presentation with Colin Clark for CSUN on > Fluid.

For those of you who don't know, CSUN is the largest conference related to assistive technology and web accessibility. Rich's presentation gave lots of exposure for the Sakai, uPortal, OpenCollection, and other communities Fluid works with.
