Responder Implementation dataComments
Jonathan Avila Yes
Wilco Fiers Yes
Trevor Bostic I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. It may be worth linking to: https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/#docconformance in the background as a guide for implicit roles. At least for me, I didn't realize that a summary elements implicit role was button.
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Mary Jo Mueller I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below.
Kathy Eng Yes Failed example 2: This button element has no accessible name. The value attribute does not provide an accessible name for button elements, only for input elements.

<button type="button" value="read more"></button>

Please clarify: Value is part of accessible name comp for input type = button|submit|reset, not all input types. (https://w3c.github.io/html-aam/#input-type-button-input-type-submit-and-input-type-reset)

Responder Remaining open issuesComments
Jonathan Avila No, there are no open issues.
Wilco Fiers No, there are no open issues.
Trevor Bostic No, there are no open issues.
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes there are open issues that need to be resolved. I have listed them below. https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1169
Mary Jo Mueller Yes there are open issues that need to be resolved. I have listed them below. Agree with Kasper's comment. Trevor's comment on #4 is related, as that document isn't super clear about the implicit role. The link Kasper provided in issue 1169 seems clearer to me. Although I'm not sure the rule can point to an editor's draft.
Kathy Eng Yes there are open issues that need to be resolved. I have listed them below. https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/issues/1169
