term and definition will no longer allow author naming #1299
Description
After PR w3c/aria#1147 is merged, aria-label[ledby] will be prohibited on both term and definition roles, and the APG Accessible Name Guidance by Role table for term and definition will need updating.
For info, aria-details on the term will be used to point to the definition (instead of having aria-labelledby on the definition point to the term, as originally specified).
The current entries for term and definition are as follows:
| role | Necessity of Naming | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| definition | Recommended | Reference the term being defined with role="term", using aria-labelledby. |
| term | Do Not Name | Since a term is usually the name for the role="definition" element, it could be confusing if the term itself also has a name. |
This will need to change to:
| role | Necessity of Naming | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| definition | Prohibited | |
| term | Prohibited |
