Re: [orca-list] Filtering html elements

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

So I just took a look at this content. If you look at the page source,
you will see that the content authors did the following:

1. Use a header with an explicit ARIA role of banner (a landmark)
2. Put the bulk of its content in a nav element (which is exposed to
   Orca as if it were an ARIA role navigation (a landmark)
3. Put the button in question inside an unordered list

It is really hard for Orca to be able to distinguish unfortunate markup
from good markup. And if you have enabled presentation of landmarks and
lists, it's even harder for Orca to distinguish if that's really what
you want in any particular situation.

So while I can sympathize with your "ouch!", I don't see trying to add a
fix to Orca to filter this out. I think Orca is doing the right thing
given the markup and what I assume your settings are.

On my to-do list still is to enable support for site-specific settings.
Once that is in place, you will be able to disable presentation of
context on a per-site basis.
