DPUB-ARIA implementations
Matt Garrish
Hi folks,
As you may be aware, the DPUB-ARIA vocabulary is currently a Candidate Recommendation.[1] In order to exit this stage and move on to a final Recommendation, we need to show at least two publisher implementations of each of the roles.
We have some early adopters already on record, but still have a number of roles needing a second implementation. In that light, if you are already using the vocabulary in your publications, or are using epub:type in your workflows and can add the equivalent ARIA role attribute it would greatly help if you could let us know.
Similarly, if you are the developer of a reading system that implements any behaviours based on the role attribute and vocabulary (e.g., like pop-up footnotes with epub:type), it would be great to show that kind of application, as well.
Thanks,
Matt

[Jason] As a somewhat related side question, it was recently pointed out to me that there seems to be no standard representation of poetry (lines, stanzas, etc.). Would the next version of the DPUB module be the right place in which possibly to introduce additional roles for this purpose? If so, how do I arrange for it to be added to the issues list?

Yes, it's an old problem. There's a W3C wiki page that covers a number of proposals raised during the original development of HTML 5,[1] but I believe they were all rejected in the end so you're sort of left on your own to cobble poetry together from paragraph, div or pre.
Creating a set of semantics was raised during both 3.0 and 3.0.1, as I recall, but defining a set of poetry semantics was deemed out of scope of what we could achieve. Developing such a set of semantics was seen as needing more time and expertise.
Without some kind of nudge, I'm not sure anything is going to happen. If you'd like to have poetry considered for a future update, the best place to open an issue is probably the ARIA tracker.[2]
