From the point of view of the implementation, it should not be an issue to
expose those optimal, low and high values in WebKit (besides adding some
bits in WebCore’s a11y layer). The tricky thing will be of course getting
the textual representation of the value depending on the range it’s in. And
regarding to this, I personally think Joanie's first proposal (Bad, Better,
Best) is better than the second one (Bad, Good, Optimal), because anything
out of "Optimal" doesn't have to be necessarily "good".
This is true. I also wonder whether ARIA attributes should be defined to
provide localized names for these ranges depending on the needs of the
application. METER already supports labels, which do not fulfill this need.
Nor does the TITLE attribute, which the spec suggests can be used to indicate
the unit of measure.
Hmm, taking into account that meter is intended to be an HTML element,
does make sense to use ARIA attributes to provide that info? ARIA was
created in order to add the possibility to expose accessibility
information on dynamic components, like those written on javascript, as
were for nature custom. In this case we have an HTML element, I think
that all the needed information related with it should be included on
his definition, instead of suggesting add-ons with ARIA.
