390289 - Ensure accessible object creation for universal ARIA properties

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Aaron Leventhal]

Some ARIA properties can apply to any element.

An accessible object must be created for that element to ensure the ARIA property is exposed.

For example, while a plain <div> does not need an accessible, <div aaa:live="polite"> does need one.

Surkov, do you think there's a better way?

Unfortunately I can't see a better way right now.

I don't think we have a simple attribute enumeration API anyway.
