Re: 5-Day CfC: Advance Graphics ARIA and Graphics AAM to CR

+1

I have just pushed a few edits to the Graphics ARIA repo, which should be
reflected in the Editor's Draft as soon as the Travis build runs.

The edits don't affect any normative aspects of these specs; they mostly
involve cleaning up the examples & ReSpec formatting.  One of the changes
closes the only open issue on either spec, about avoiding aria-flowto (
https://github.com/w3c/graphics-aria/issues/1). I also removed an editor's
note about adding a more detailed canvas example, since the canvas hit
regions spec has been rolled back.

See the commit messages for more details:
https://github.com/w3c/graphics-aria/commits/master

The working drafts for both specs were last re-published in January, and
there have been no other edits since.

The "MUST" requirements for both specs are covered by the same Web Platform
Test suite (https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/tree/master/graph
ics-aam), although Graphics ARIA has additional "SHOULD / SHOULD NOT"
requirements for authors and for alternative visual media, which can't
easily be tested in an automated way.

The summary of test results shows multiple passing implementations (most,
but not all, thanks to Joanie's own code): http://w3c.github.io/te
