Correction: revise wbr and br element allowances by scottaohara · Pull Request #353 · w3c/html-aria (original) (raw)

closes #332

Revise the allowances for the br element - only allow aria-hidden attribute, rather than all global attributes.

Revise allowances for wbr to match br. Neither of these elements allow for styling from authors, nor do they allow for child content (or content from CSS - again no styling). So allowing for any roles/attributes beyond presentation or for hiding would not be a wise idea.

Need at least two checkers to accept this change before we can merge.

html validator

ibm equal access accessibility checker

axe-core

arc toolkit

html validator and axe issues are still open in regards to limiting allowed aria-* attributes on these elements to aria-hidden alone.
