[Jason] A note to the ARIA 1.0 exit criteria reads as follows.
"Note that the goal is to find two implementations of each WAI-ARIA feature using any of the accessibility APIs referenced in the WAI-ARIA User Agent Implementation Guide,
not to find two implementations on each accessibility API defined in the guide. The two required passing examples for different tests may be found on different implementations."

I discern no reason why this needs to change for ARIA 1.1, but the Accessibility API Mapping Guides are now on a Recommendation track as well, as I think they should be. This raises the question of what their CR exit criteria will be. Must two interoperable implementations exist for each accessibility API mapping - that is, two distinct user agents that map ARIA and host language features to each accessibility API?

Such a stringent requirement no doubt raises serious difficulties, but it isn't clear how else to establish the interoperability of different user agent implementations of each API.
