[HTML51]. For general best-practice information about using ARIA, see the [WAI-ARIA-PRACTICES] document. The following is a longer list of resources that provide relevant information: ARIA in HTML WAI-ARIA 1.1 Authoring Practices Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.1 HTML 5.1 HTML5 Accessibility 2. Notes on ARIA use in HTML 2.1 First rule of ARIA use If you can use a native HTML element [HTML51] or attribute with the semantics and behaviour you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and adding an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so. Under what circumstances may this not be possible? If the feature is available in HTML [HTML51] but it is not implemented or it is implemented, but accessibility support is not. If the visual design constraints rule out the use of a particular native element, because the element cannot be styled as required. If the feature is not currently available in HTML. 2.2 Second rule of ARIA use Do not change native semantics, unless you really have to. For example: Developer wants to build a heading that's a button.
