Jan 1, 2026Month: 2026-01 — Focused on improving accessibility specification clarity for the PDF domain in w3c/aria. Delivered naming standardization for PDF accessibility mappings by renaming 'PDF-object' references to 'PDF Logical Structure Item (PLSI)' across the spec, enabling consistent terminology for authors, implementers, and tooling. Implemented via an editorial change (commit 5e11988402d84f12bce0a527797af32dacfcd4d8) with co-authorship by Daniel Montalvo. This renaming reduces ambiguity in documentation and downstream tooling, and aligns with PLIS terminology used elsewhere in the standard. This work supports more reliable accessibility semantics and easier tooling interoperability. No major bug fixes were recorded this month; the primary focus was terminology standardization to reduce future defects and improve maintainability across the specification.
