The Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group has published ARIA in HTML as an updated W3C Recommendation.

This spec's primary objective is to define requirements for use with conformance checking tools used by authors (i.e., web developers). These requirements will aid authors in their development of web content, including custom interfaces and widgets, which make use of ARIA to complement or extend the features of the host language HTML

@[email protected] your question does not make sense.

My post was about the open web and free content, being freely accessible (viewable).

If you want to post a comment, you should do so on your personal site, and notify the original post via the Webmention protocol (a good CMS or content hosting service will do this automatically). One advantage of using open standards like Webmention is there is no need to register with other sites to use them on your own site.

You should own your replies, rather than expecting other websites to host them.

The CSS Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of CSS Linked Parameters Module Level 1. This spec introduces a way to pass CSS values into linked resources, such as SVG images, so that they can be used as CSS custom environment variables in the destination resource. This allows easy reuse of "templated" SVG images, which can be adapted to a site’s theme color, etc. easily, without having to modify the source SVG.
