First Public Working Draft: Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.3

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group published the First Public Working Draft of Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.3. This specification provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties that define accessible user interface elements and can be used to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web content and applications. Changes from ARIA 1.2 include: new roles (suggestion, comment, mark), new attributes (aria-description, aria-braillelabel, aria-brailleroledescription) and updates to aria-details to allow multiple IDrefs. Additional changes are in the changelog. Please submit any comments by 21 February 2024. For an introduction to WAI-ARIA and related resources, see the WAI-ARIA Overview.
