Hi @carlosapaduarte @WilcoFiers, I recommend waiting for w3c/aria#2604 before deprecating the rule (depending on the decision we may only need to update it). |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
They are still required in ARIA 1.2, and ARIA 1.3 is only a draft.
Does that mean we are effectively moving to ARIA 1.3 already? Or just on a case-by-case basis? How does this ties with #2366 ? Should we accept 1.3 attributes in the rule?

@Jym77 Adding this to "Ready to merge" as I think CFR ended yesterday and I'm now taking a pass at all ACT/ARIA pending issues :-) |
