Moved from w3c/dpub#24

Without these semantics, screen readers cannot provide their users with settings to turn on/off the visibility of running headers and footers, which may have important information, or the user may wish to examine for authoring purposes.

Agree wholeheartedly with this proposal. Without this level of granularity, ATs won't be able to offer a user option to speak header and footer details automatically.

This seems like a valid thing which should be added to the DPub-ARIA spec.

Note that the ARIA Working Group doesn't own this spec; we collaborate with Publishing WG on it however. See https://www.w3.org/2017/04/publ-wg-charter/#deliverables.

Right .. what are the next steps tho? I don't think a new version of DPUB ARIA is currently planned?

I see it on https://www.w3.org/2017/04/publ-wg-charter/#deliverables. I don't know what the status is. Did you talk with the Publishing WG about this?

No, I haven't -- thanks I'll try that. Makes sense.

Assuming aria-repeatedcontent (or whatever) becomes a thing, then the roles proposed here should have a default value of true.

What sort of markup is being used to describe running headers or footers? There are CSS specs that describe such information as generated content that might not appear in an HTML source.
