"host language attribute" is not defined

Open cookiecrook opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

"host language attribute" is not defined in main ARIA spec (and related)

I heard today that a few ARIA veterans didn't know what this was. .... e.g. an HTML or SVG attr since those are "host languages" for ARIA

  1. Look to see if host language is defined and we just haven't linked to it correctly
  2. Define it here if it is not
  3. Open issue in ACCNAME either way

It isn't defined. Personally I'd like to see it defined inline somewhere within section "8. Implementation in Host Languages" of the spec.

What is a "host language attribute"?

An attribute of the host language that integrates ARIA, for example an HTML or SVG attribute, see https://w3c.github.io/aria/#co-evolution
