Could you clarify what you mean by "can Svelte have this"?

[Conduitry]

I would guess this means to handle inert as a boolean attribute (on certain elements? on all elements?) but I'm not sure.

[shinokada]

Sorry that I was not clear. After watching the Svelte Summit, I thought Svelte doc can have the a11y section that explains how Svelte take the a11y seriously and show some examples how to improve a11y.
Since inert is coming to major browsers, I thought it will be a good example to use it in the doc.

So that my point was that Svelte cares about a11y and show more examples in doc.

[dummdidumm]

I agree that a dedicated section on a11y with more context would be great, but I'm not sure I would use an attribute as an example that most browsers only have behind a flag.

As I'm a bit confused now, I would like to ask if this issue should track the effort to bring inert to svelte or if a new issue should be opened?

Inert is available in Firefox and Chrome and in preview for Edge and Safari. So I would love to see native support in sveltekit as I <3 to play with those latest features :)

[Conduitry]

The handling of inert should be improved now in 3.56.0.

seems like we can close this as completed
