==ARIA widgets== | ==ARIA widgets== | ||
ARIA is all about screen readers support and it doesn't change the content behavior, i.e. doesn't affect on sighted users. On the another hand ARIA always comes with custom widget development. It's always hard work to create the custom widget and make behave it correct in the web page context without the browser help. For example, if the div was used to create a button or link then it's a div from the browser point of view. However these widgets assume different keyboard navigation behavior. It would be really nice if the browser uses the ARIA as the widget classifier to fit the behavior depending on the widget type. | ARIA is all about screen readers support and it doesn't change the content behavior, i.e. doesn't affect on sighted users.

[davidb: I disagree with this; I don't think we should make any assumptions about keyboard behaviour based on @role] | |||
