What about the one you typed in the last sentence? :-) For that
matter, what about smiley I just typed? After all, it's three

Indeed. This is analogous to relying on a downward pointing triangle or
arrow to indicate a button will invoke a popup; hence, aria-haspopup.
Instead of relying on the ellipsis visual cue, it sounds like there is
is a need for something like "aria-more" to indicate more information
will be requested from the user. Something for ARIA 2.0.
