If we don't specify the interaction between aria-* and HTML then how will we get interoperable behavior? For example how will UAs handle markup like: <label for="a">Foo</label><span id="b">Bar</span><input id="a" aria-labelledby="b"> or <tr><th id="a" scope="row">Foo</th> <tr><td aria-describedby="a"> -- "Eternity's a terrible thought.
