However, the problem is that accessibility in general is severely lacking in resources across browser vendors (especially Mozilla!; we're currently working with just 2 engineers). Even where browser vendors agree on how something *should* be done, it often takes months or years before it gets implemented, primarily due to the aforementioned resource shortage. We (Mozilla) still haven't implemented parts of ARIA 1.1, let alone ARIA 1.2. The reality is that if multiple implementations were required for sign-off, it'd probably delay the process for years. and > allowing only 75% of mappings to be implemented to count as > success seems pretty bad. > Same issue as above regarding limited resources. Still, this one is a little more concerning because it raises questions about whether the remaining 25% will *ever* be implementable.
