ISSUE-129: replace or modify the ARIA section of the HTML5 spec [HTML 5 spec]

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/129

Raised by: Steve Faulkner
On product: HTML 5 spec

The current ARIA section of the HTML5 specification contains normative and informative text for which the HTML WG has not reached consensus. In an effort to resolve the issues amicably, individual bugs have been raised. The following bugs have not been resolved and it is considered that further discussion in bugzilla will not result in them being resolved, so they are being added to an overarching ARIA issue as agreed to by the chairs:

Bug 10450 -Allow lists to be used as menus or tab sets http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10450

Bug 10903 -provide an introduction to wai-aria in the wai aria section of the spec
