This specification is intended for user agent developers responsible for MathML accessibility in their product. The goal of this specification is to maximize the accessibility of MathML content by ensuring eachassistive technology receives MathML content with theroles,states, andproperties it expects.
At the present time, this specification contains mappings for the subset of MathML contained in the MathML Core specification [MathML-Core]. The reason why is that this subset contains theelements andattributes from MathML which are exposed toassistive technologies via platformaccessibility APIs.
Publication as an Editor's Draft does not imply endorsement byW3C and its Members.
This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than a work in progress.
As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. Everything else in this specification is normative.
The key wordMUST in this document is to be interpreted as described inBCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, it appears in all capitals, as shown here.
Normative sections provide requirements that user agents and assistive technologiesMUST follow for an implementation to conform to this specification.
Non-normative (informative) sections provide information useful to understanding the specification. Such sections may contain examples of recommended practice, but it is not required to follow such recommendations in order to conform to this specification.
