Thanks Eelco. I've added a new feature ticket. Although I may not have
enough knowledge to push this forward, I am intending to make use of it
on a real project and eat my own dogfood, so I'll do my best to post
what I learn from that process. I'd be thrilled if anybody else out
there is interested in taking part who might have more knowledge about
these standards and/or Wicket.

Not sure if that's the best method or not, but it seems like a great
start here would be a low-level, lightweight support for adding
attributes without having to override onComponentTag. This functionality
may already be there -- I could easily have missed it.
Attribute modifiers.
Numbering the
tabindex attributes would require something more invasive, I think --
maybe even a modification to Component, WebPage and/or Panel to do the
actual counting of sub-components that choose to present themselves as
'tabable'. Also, some support for using arrow and letter keys to
navigate (without a mouse) would be very helpful, I think. Of course
that's going to require another javascript resource along the lines of
wicket-ajax.js and wicket-event.js -- maybe wicket-accessible.js? I feel
like I might be getting ahead of myself slightly here :-)
What does everybody think?
I think it is great to have serious support for this in Wicket. What
we need though is someone with enough knowledge and preferably the
intention to use this on a real project (eat dogfood) to gather the
specs of this functionality in a coherent fashion.
A good start is to open a feature request for it in JIRA and use that
as a base to work on. My hunch is that much of the accessibility
support won't be incredibly hard once we know exactly what we want.
Cheers,
Eelco
