@MichielBijl I'm too lazy to make a PR. http://w3c.github.io/aria/practices/aria-practices.html#draganddrop - "See Drag and Drop Support, above" should probably say "below"

@garcialo, we grabbed dnd support and dropped it. So any reference that is still in there should bere moved.

What's the rationale for dropping it?

And did you drag it first?

It is deprecated in the spec.

is dragndrop being re-written?

Eventually. But the current stuff doesn't really work so recommending people do it seems wrong. Better to say nothing than give people incorrect guidance.

I fought against it, but specifically it was JAWS+IE who failed (without role=application)

although I believed that firefox only worked because there was a mouseover or whatever mouse event being listened to

and that was allowing 2 SRs to pass keystrokes to the app

I warned a guy trying to make a Web Component that kinda acts like Gmail's "to" field (a sort of autocomplete listbox with deletion/typing features) that he might do everything right and it'll still b0rk

In any case, our company guidelines will be pointing to the aria practices page, so I should add more emphasis to my warnings

[lozandier] @StommePoes It can be doable pretty quickly w/ RxJS and similar reactive functional programming that emphasizes thinking of things with streams/Observables
