Scott, Mark, <div><br></div><div>Thanks for the links.<div><br></div><div>ARIA is a great project because it works with what we already have in order to produce better results but Accessibility, in and of itself, is not exactly what I'm after. The XGR stuff looks interesting as well, but overkill.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My biggest issue with web app development is that there is no line between content and chrome. Ideally I'd love to see this:</div><div><br></div><div><ui></div><div> <label>...</label></div>
<div> <input ... /></div><div> ...</div><div> <form ...></div><div> <label>...</label></div><div> <input ... /></div><div> <input type="submit" /></div><div> </form></div>
<div></ui></div><div><br></div><div>Where the <ui> element can be hooked into by user agents and assistive technologies to provide the same additional functionality that a <form> can provide, but without requiring a submission to the server, and it can contain multiple forms if necessary. With HTML5 being principled on improving our ability to create Web Apps I found it strikingly odd that in this age of AJAX I cannot semantically group my controls without having to invoke a refresh of my page every time a button is pressed. From what I gathered the newly added tags are all still oriented towards document creation.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I personally think that a <ui> tag could be a spiritual cousin to the newly added <section>, <header>, <footer>, and <nav> elements. But I'm also aware we're in the final call for comments, so I'm not expecting anyone to jump through hoops for my idea. Thanks for listening and discussing the idea though. </div>
