Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2013-01-14 16:18:00 EST
Today's code for the orionInfoArea is:

<aside aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true" role="complementary" tabindex="0" style="" class="orion-info" id="orionInfoArea">
	<div class="orion-info-message" id="orionInfoMessage">2.0M2 is on January 25th</div>
	<div class="orion-info-link" id="orionInfoLink"> [more info...]</div>
</aside>

If we take a look at the recommendations for aria-live regions:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/#LiveRegions

I think it should not be "assertive", I think it should be aria-live="polite" instead.

Does this region update live? i.e. the user does not have to refresh the page, and new news will appear? If not, then maybe it isn't even a live region.

If it does update "live", then does it update completely? i.e. there's always a completely new info and link(s)? Or can a new info item get added?
I am wondering if it needs to be aria-atomic="true" or not.
