|---|---|---|
| Detlev Fischer | No, I have no further questions or concerns. | |
| Wilco Fiers | No, I have no further questions or concerns. | |
| Kathy Eng | Yes, I have questions or concerns, described below. | Please provide further explanation of Background: The definition of owned by used in this rule is different from the definition of "owned element" in WAI-ARIA. - why was it necessary to create a definition? - Seems like the WAI-ARIA "owned element" definition is broader (any DOM descendant), so failing the narrower definition of this rule would not necessarily fail 1.3.1. - Owned Element: An 'owned element' is any DOM descendant of the element, any element specified as a child via aria-owns, or any DOM descendant of the owned child. |

| Mary Jo Mueller | No, I have no further questions or concerns. | |
| Levon Spradlin | No, I have no further questions or concerns. |
