1069574 - [AccessFu] Read specialized screen reader hint tags

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

We are thinking it would be awesome to provide the user with some contextual hints when they encounter something that requires non-trivial interaction like double finger swipe.

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

This sounds hard to scope :)

Comment 2

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

We were thinking of inventing an attribute, something like:
aria-moz-screenreader-hint, and use that.

Looks good.

The utils method could be a PivotContext method, and we don't need another private method, it could be scoped inside the public one.
