Annotations #749
Description
from https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/issues/655
Proposal to support commenting, inline error highlighting, etc. in documents.
Office wants to be able to make these types of annotations more accessible. Commenting on a document is a pretty common scenario, and this would be useful to many web app developers.
We'd like to explore creating this as an extension spec. I have a person from the Office team who is willing to do the heavy lifting.

I've put an updated draft proposal on the Wiki:

This draft incorporates comments from the F2F in Lyon.

The J Paul Getty Trust would formally object to this unless it is at least aligned with existing W3C standards for Annotation.

This is now landed in Chrome Canary (Chrome 81).
I filed some follow-up issues:
AOM - WICG/aom#157
Firefox - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1608883
Updated existing WebKit bug - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165842
CORE-AAM doesn't need any changes, it already says there could be multiple elements.

@aleventhal requested public comment.
No concerns re: ARIA Annotations from Apple Accessibility Engineering. I'll stop short of a formal "Intent to Implement," but it's an area of interest that we hope to implement at some point in the future. Congrats on shipping it in Chrome and Firefox.
