→Beyond HTML: Other Types of Web Content
* [http://www.w3.org/Math/ MathML]<nowiki>: an XML dialect used to display full math notation on web pages. </nowiki>[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/ Here's the ongoing Mozilla project to support MathML] . We do not currently have plans to support MSAA for MathML - we will likely suggest use of the external DOM for this, because MSAA simply does not have the right semantics in it to support mathematics. MathML support is currently built into Firefox.
* [http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview.html SVG] : Scalable Vector Graphics. Essentially W3C's XML-based version of Flash - mixes well with other markup based content, supports the DOM and has accessibility features. [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/ Mozilla's SVG Project] has been through several stalls and rebirths -- SVG will probably become more of a priority if other well known browsers support it. We will not know how, or whether, we will support SVG accessibility until a better implementation comes along. Firefox 1.5 supports SVG. Potentially it can make use of the same namespaced role and state attributes as DHTML accessibility, but it may require more powerful author-definable relationships.
* [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/ XForms]<nowiki>: XForms is the future of online forms as envisioned by the W3C. Drawing on other W3C standards like XML Schema, XPath, and XML Events, XForms tries to address some of the limitations with the current HTML forms model. One of the key features of XForms is accessibility.<Firefox 1.5 supports XForms by [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/824/nowiki>XForms extension]. XForms accessibility is implemented for Firefox 3.
* [http://www.xulplanet.com/ XUL]<nowiki>: The XML-based language used by Firefox and Mozilla to develop the UI. Similar to HTML in that it can be combined with CSS and Javascript to make powerful applications. Contains more desktop-style widgets than HTML and follows a box layout model, rather than being text-flow based. In the future more standalone applications will use XUL via </nowiki>[http://wiki.mozilla.org/XUL:Xul_Runner XULRunner].
