Bug 69140

Summary: Looking at: http://html5accessibility.com/ which is based on Webkit r908, it looks like for the most part, Webkit does not support HTML5 elements/inputs and where there is support it's only partially.

There are very few examples of where HTML5 elements/inputs are fully supported in Webkit. Please, I hope Webkit will provide full support for all HTML5 elements/inputs. HTML5 accessibility elements, attributes, etc. I think are very important and should be supported soon are: aside, figcaption, figure, footer, menu > context menu, menu> list, menu > toolbar, nav , progress, summary, required, and placeholder

We are aware of these missing items. Some are difficult because there are not direct mappings to the correct platform API and some have not been implemented in webkit yet anyway. Others like "required" are supported completely, so I'm not sure why WebKit didn't get points for that. Placeholder is supported correctly on the Mac since there is specific desktop API for placeholder. I'm not sure about windows side
