Re: ACTION-2107: proposal for Revised aria-details description

I under your concern Birkir, but I certainly hope not. 

aria-details is a description and aria-errormessage is an error notification. We should not have to deal with that conflict.  aria-describedby and aria-details are both forms of descriptions. 

If it becomes a problem I will circle back. I would rather the platform people not mess that delineation up.

> [Jason] +1 to the proposal. As I read it, if both aria-details and aria-describedby are specified, the UA may supply both of them in the accessibility tree, but, since this is not supported on some platforms, only the availability of aria-details is guaranteed in that situation.
