Despite the fact that the Inspector shows their values using the \"AX\" names, e.g. AXGroup, there's no clear documentation anywhere that I can find that lists the \"AX\" values. The old HTML to Platform Accessibility APIs Implementation Guide used to link to a [page describing all the different \"AX\" values, etc.](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Accessibility/Conceptual/AccessibilityMacOSX/OSXAXIntro/OSXAXintro.html), but that page doesn't exist anymore.\r\n\r\nShould we be presenting these property names and values in a way that more closely aligns with how they are presented in the official NSAccessibility Protocol documentation? Do we leave things as they are but include a note regarding the way they are named, i.e. with the \"AX\" prefix?\r\n\r\nAssigning to @cookiecrook for his input."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/w3c/aria/issues/comments/225037545","html_url":"https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/399#issuecomment-225037545","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/w3c/aria/issues/399","id":225037545,"user":{"login":"jasonkiss","id":216879,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/216879?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss","html_url":"https://github.com/jasonkiss","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jasonkiss/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-09T21:50:22Z","updated_at":"2016-06-09T21:50:22Z","body":"Thanks @cookiecrook. So, to confirm:\r\n\r\n* the \"AX\" prefixed attribute names, e.g. AXRole, will be replaced with the \"accessibility\" prefixed versions, e.g. accessibilityRole\r\n* the attribute value strings will, for the time being, retain the \"AX\" form, e.g. AXGroup\r\n* the API will be referred to as the \"OS X Accessibility Protocol\", with \"AXAPI\" as the short name, e.g. \"OS X Accessibility Protocol [AXAPI]\"\r\n\r\n@michael-n-cooper @klown @AmeliaBR @richschwer Any concerns with this editorial change to the various AAM docs? Assuming not, I'm happy to create a branch and implement this change across all the relevant docs for your review."}}
