[wsrp] portlet-menu-description CSS class
I agreed yesterday to start this email
thread.

We had feedback from CSS experts that
the portlet-menu-description class appears inappropriate. In particular,
it violates a number of UI guidelines used on various platforms and would
be problematic for screen readers. The equivalent functionality is normally
provided using tooltips, but these are handled via the underlying windowing
system rather than being styled through CSS.

The questions we were all asked to investigate:

1. Do other CSS experts agree with this
evaluation of the portlet-menu-description?

2. Is the portlet-menu-description class
in use (i.e. would it be disruptive to remove it)?

As we are trying to move rapidly toward
a "Committee Draft" level of the spec, early feedback on these
questions would be great!
