The Future

HTML5 and the WAI-ARIA specification have paved the way for a much more accessible Web. With the ability to identify changing regions on the page, developers can create richer JavaScript applications without worrying so much about accessibility issues. Thanks to the ease of use, these roles are being included in popular JavaScript frameworks like Ember, jQuery Mobile, and many more, meaning that developers using those frameworks will be automatically building more-accessible applications.
