The above is sometimes true but is dependent on the CSS applied to the DIV or SPAN inline -> acts like SPAN block -> acts like DIV
Other CSS display styles to be evaluated.
A nameless container element that has no semantic meaning on its own, but can provide accessible states and properties for its descendants.
Contrast with group, which semantically groups its descendants in a named container.
The aria-textseparation attribute of a generic indicates how its text content is separated from adjacent text content of adjacent generic elements.
Characteristics:
Superclass Role: structure
Related Concepts: HTML div, HTML span
Supported States and Properties: aria-textseparation
Inherited States and Properties:
aria-atomic
aria-busy (state)
aria-controls
aria-current (state)
aria-describedby
aria-details
aria-disabled (state)
aria-dropeffect
aria-errormessage
aria-flowto
aria-grabbed (state)
aria-haspopup
aria-hidden (state)
aria-invalid (state)
aria-keyshortcuts
aria-label?
aria-labelledby?
aria-live
aria-owns
aria-relevant
aria-roledescription
Name From: contents none? undefined? prohibited? N/A (i.e. not in table)?
Defines how text content of a generic element is separated from text content of adjacent generic elements.
Specifically, aria-textseparation only applies to text nodes at the boundaries of a generic; it has no effect on separation between text nodes inside the generic, or on other types of elements.
The value of the aria-textseparation property is a token list of size 1 or 2. The first value represents the type of text separation before the element, and the second value represents the type of text separation after the element. If a single value is given, it represents the type of text separation before and after the element. Any value not recognized in the list of allowed tokens SHOULD be treated by assistive technologies as if the default value style had been provided. If the attribute is not present or its value is an empty string or undefined, the default value of style applies.
For example, if the badge class in the following markup renders a circle around the "12" so that it is visually separated from the word "Notifications", then aria-textseparation="style space" ensures that AT render a space between the spans.
EXAMPLE
<a href="http://foo.com/badge.html">
<span aria-textseparation="style space">Notifications</span><span class="badge">12</span>
</a>
NOTE If adjacent generics have space separation, spaces will be collapsed to a single space.
NOTE In the event of conflicting text separation between adjacent generics, paragraphbreak has precedence over linebreak, which has precedence over space, which has precedence over none, which has precedence over style.
Characteristics:
Related Concepts: String concatenation, text content, CSS rendering
Used in Roles: generic
Value: token list
style (default) Indicates that the element's text is separated from neighboring element text according to the element's display style.
linebreak Indicates that the element's text is separated from neighboring element text by a line break.
none Indicates that the element's text is not separated from neighboring element text; it is rendered as a continuous whole, without any delineation.
paragraphbreak Indicates that the element's text is separated from neighboring element text by a paragraph break.
space Indicates that the element's text is separated from neighboring element text by a space.
Generic + style -> acts like Div & Span today - depends on CSS applied for mapping
Generic + linebreak -> like DIV
generic + none -> like SPAN
generic + paragraphbreak -> like DIV (do we need this?)
generic + space - > like SPAN but add a space in the ACCNAME calculation

Proposal - remove aria-label,labelledby from global states and properties. Add to widget, window, application, landmark, document, list, figure, group, img, range, table, tabpanel
Following non-abstract roles are no longer labelable - note we can add some of these if we decide to.
- alert
- blockquote
- caption
- cell
- definition (** This needs to be added - should we allow ONLY aria-labelledby?)
- deletion
- heading
- insertion
- label
- legend
- listitem
- log
- marquee
- math??
- none
- note
- paragraph
- presentation
- rowgroup
- status
- subscript
- superscript
- term
- time
- timer
- tooltip
Note - this change has a major impact to role presentation conflict resolution section. Prior to this change
<ul role=presentation aria-label="list">
...
</ul>
Would be exposed as a list. After this change it would NOT be exposed as a list. We need to check browser implementations of this.
Other Questions is aria-describedby the same or should that be left as global? See: https://w3c.github.io/using-aria/#label-support
Heading states the following:
Often, heading elements will be referenced with the aria-labelledby attribute of the section for which they serve as a heading. If headings are organized into a logical outline, the aria-level attribute is used to indicate the nesting level.
This implies that sections should be labelled and should be changed
