OT: Re: ISSUE-636 ACTION-1398 Provide spec. text for aria-roledescription

OFF-TOPIC.

I misspell that one all the time, too. Also "mispell", "accessibilty", and "accessiblity." I don't think I've ever written the word "discreet" or "discrete" without looking up which is which. If I ever find a good synonym for "discrete" (looked this one up just now just now to verify), I'm going to replace all in the IndieUI specs. ;-)

The @aria-labelledby attribute pre-dates my stint in the WG, but we should take care to avoid similar problems with any of the future roles or attributes.
