Re: aria-flowto changes user-agent behavior, which isn't the intended purpose of ARIA

I agree that this is wrong because it goes against the purpose of ARIA, 
but I think it's just incorrectly worded. The text in the spec should say 
something like "aria-flowto recommends a document reading to assistive 
technologies".

aria-flowto changes user agent behavior, which isn't the intended purpose 
of ARIA.

If ARIA really needs this, we should move it to section 6.2.3 and make it 
a requirement of implementing host languages.
