While working on making increasingly complex publications accessible, we've identified a gap in the current semantic markup capabilities for educational and literary content. There are several educational and editorial constructs that, while visually identifiable, lack proper semantic representation in current standards.
This enhancement may be considered within the scope of DPUB ARIA roles or similar specifications.
Examples of missing semantic elements:
Exercises (critical both for educational publishing and for LMS')
Worksheets
Poetry structure (stanzas, line numbers)
