Thanks everyone including Jared, Christian and Peter for the encouragement. There's an exciting time coming for accessibility. Now I need to present my findings to management and convince them that it's best to start implementing now. The question they will ask is will it help us certify compliant? That's where I'm less sure. In the real world can companies trust that disabled users are able to access content? I hope so. In the end, our only other choice besides implementing aria is going back to controls that aren't nearly as rich which isn't really an option if we want to move forward is it?
