Removing "golden hammer" language #354
Conversation
The 'golden hammer', removing elements with role="none" or "presentation" entirely from the accessibility tree, was rejected by the task force so I removed this text. For stylistic reasons I removed "in addition" and added the sentence beginning "Certain roles" to the previous paragraph.

Thanks for noticing this section, Brian. It is problematic given the current interpretation. That said, I'm not sure whether we really need to remove all that text, or whether we should keep it with new qualifications. Describing how role=presentation normally works might still be useful, although perhaps it is less relevant since this is also the default behavior. I'll take another look at it later, maybe integrate the text elsewhere. |

Good point. That sentence about presenting every element is still true (regardless of the golden hammer), but I couldn't gracefully find a way to integrate it in this section. Perhaps this should find its way into the authoring practices document? Just a thought. |
