Details
| Responder | Consistency with ACT Rules Format | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Sailesh Panchang | No. I have opened an issue in GitHub or have documented my comments below. | 1. Why is this rule under consideration as it states: Accessibility Requirements Mapping: This rule is not required for conformance. An incorrect ARIA-* attribute nothing for accessibility testing. If an element has aria-unchecked="true", that element will get flagged while doing a test for SC 4.1.2 (manual / automated) as it may not have its state exposed (assuming state is not exposed via a correct property). And if it has another correct property set, presence of aria-unchecked is just a poor code, a matter of code quality. Such coding issues do not have to be highlighted by a tool. (Note: during a recent call this view was highlighted too: best practices for coding is not what this effort is about). 2. Perhaps a different example should be used if this rule is retained in place of passed-example#3 . An alert does not need aria-live=assertive. <div role="alert" aria-live="assertive"> Your session will expire in 60 seconds.</div> |

| Sailesh Panchang | ||
| Wilco Fiers | I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. | This rule doesn't map to WCAG. We need to discuss how we want to handle this rule. |
| Jey Nandakumar | Yes | |
| Trevor Bostic | Yes | |
| Charu Pandhi | Yes | |
| Mary Jo Mueller | I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. | Agree with Wilco. Is this rule intended to be an atomic rule to help with testing 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value? In and of itself it doesn't map to WCAG, but if it's part of the tests needed to check that 4.1.2 is met then I can see that. |
