Relax `aria-valuenow` requirement on `slider` role

Open adampage opened this issue 1 year ago • 11 comments

Closes #2260

Relaxes a requirement for the slider role by permitting authors to omit aria-valuenow in favor of aria-valuetext alone.

I purposefully left the adjacent “browsers MAY implement the repair techniques...” statement unchanged, as well as the slider-specific repair technique that it cross-references. Both still seemed compatible with this change.

My introduction of “or” in the slider’s Required States and Properties cell on line 7738 looks unprecedented in the spec in terms of its format. I’d be grateful for the editors to weigh in on that?
