There is a lot of confusion around the integration of HTML5 and WAI-ARIA, even amongst professionals in the field who have been working with the technologies for some time. One reason for the confusion, at least for me, is that WAI-ARIA defines a set of rules for mapping roles, states and properties to an accessibility API, and does not define any functionality other than this; whereas, HTML5 defines functionality, often but not always relying on WAI-ARIA for accessibility API mapping. This article seeks to answer common questions about the use of WAI-ARIA in HTML5.

Over the past month I have been participating in the HTML Accessibility Task Force, a joint task force of the Protocols and Formats Working Group (PFWG) and the HTML Working Group (HTML WG) of the W3C. I thought I'd take a moment to share some of what I have been working on thus far.

For many months rebuilding this site has been on my to do list, but it hasn't made its way to the top until now. The site required a rebuild because it was terribly broken (an unfortunate, but not unpredictable, result of having built the site on a pre-alpha version of Drupal 7). The site is back up and running now on Drupal 7, which I consider stable enough to be used for my own site.
