[Accessibility_sig] W3C's ARIA roadmap addresses dynamic content

[Sharron Rush]

In a working draft released September 26th, the Web Accessibility 
Initiative of the W3C defines critical accessibility issues of new web 
application development techniques.

The Roadmap for Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA Roadmap) 
addresses the accessibility of dynamic Web content for people with 
disabilities. The roadmap outlines the technologies to map controls, AJAX 
live regions, and events to accessibility APIs, including custom controls 
used for Rich Internet Applications. The roadmap also outlines new 
navigation techniques to mark common Web structures as menus, primary 
content, secondary content, banner information and other types of Web 
structures. These new technologies can be used to improve the accessibility 
and usability of Web resources by people with disabilities, without 
extensive modification to existing libraries of Web resources.
