 				<p>The <a>attribute</a> is represented as a space-separated list of the following <span>values</span>: <code>additions</code>, <code>removals</code>, <code>text</code>; or a single catch-all value <code>all</code>.</p>
 				<p>This is used to describe <a>semantically</a> meaningful changes, as opposed to merely presentational ones. For example, nodes that are removed from the top of a log are merely removed for purposes of creating room for other entries, and the removal of them does not have meaning. However, in the case of a buddy list, removal of a buddy name indicates that they are no longer online, and this is a meaningful <a>event</a>. In that case <pref>aria-relevant</pref> will be set to <code>all</code>. When the <pref>aria-relevant</pref> attribute is not provided, the default value, <code>additions text</code>, indicates that text modifications and node additions are relevant, but that node removals are irrelevant.</p>
 				<p class="note"><pref>aria-relevant</pref> values of removals or all are to be used sparingly. Assistive technologies only need to be informed of content removal when its removal represents an important change, such as a buddy leaving a chat room.</p>
