Re: [REVIEW REQUEST] Action-1548: Add aria-current attribute

I do not support this bit: "Any value not included in the list of allowed
values must be treated by user agents
<http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#dfn-user-agent> as if the
value true had been provided" because it forces the browser to validate the
value and that's performance downgrade even if there's no consumer for
aria-current. So I would exclude words "by user agents" or added "or
assistive technologies" instead. Also I would replaced "must" to "should"
to make the attribute value list extensible.

Also I think I don't get aria-current listbox example, in particular this
part " whereas aria-selected
<http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/aria.html#aria-selected> would be
used to indicate the page of results the user had selected to be displayed
next". Also it would be good to explain connection with focus. Is there any
known app on the web implementing this use case?

Thanks.
Alex.
