Hi Robert,
I don't have any experience implementing WAI-ARIA
conformance, but I can tell you what would need customization to replace
<dl> lists.
For TOCs, you can reset the value of two
params:
<xsl:param
name="toc.list.type">div</xsl:param>
<xsl:param
name="toc.listitem.type">div</xsl:param>
For indices, you will need to modify the XSL
templates. There are three indexing methods available in the stylesheet,
and they use different templates. See this reference for the list of
methods:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/index.method.html
If you did not set this param, then you are getting
the 'basic' index method. Those templates are in xhtml/autoidx.xsl.
You will need to search through that file, copy any templates that make use of
dl, dt, or dd to your customization layer, and change the element names to div,
perhaps with class attributes.
The formatting of glossary and qandaset also uses
dl, and those templates are in glossary.xsl and qandaset.xsl,
respectively.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Supporting
WAI-ARIA specification
Hi,
I'm using DocBook XSL stylesheets to generate XHTML files. Those must
conform to the WAI-ARIA specification. I've noticed that by default HTML files
output by the DB XSL violate the specification. For example, the specification
forbids the use of list elements for formatting and DB XSL use
<dl><dt></dt></dl> constructs for index files and
TOCs.
I have two questions. The first one is very general. Has any of you have
any experience with implementing support for WAI-ARIA in DB XSL? If so, could
you please share your experience?
Second question is technical. Where/what should I modify to fix the issue
mentioned above, i.e. change the rendering of indecies and TOCs
from <dl><dt></dt></dl> to
<ul><li></li></ul> for example?
Thanks
Robert
