Re: CfC: ARIA 1.1 to advance to PR

Provisional +1

Recognizing the current situation, and realizing that the WG wishes to
still conditionally move forward, Deque Systems supports the plan, while
reserving the right to withdraw support should the additional 3 tests at
https://w3c.github.io/test-results/wai-aria/less-than-2.html not emerge
with positive results.
