http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/#uaconf Current wording: User agents SHOULD expose role, state, and property information provided by the author to the platform accessibility API (using the values as determined in steps 2 and 3 above). Refer to Mapping States and Properties to Accessibility APIs ([ARIA-PRACTICES], Section 12.1) for guidance about how to expose this information. This requirement parallels User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 Section 6.3: Programmatic Access to non-HTML/XML Content ([UAAG], Section 6.3), except that it applies even to HTML and XML content. I move that user agents MUST expose the information if an appropriate mapping exists: User agents MUST expose role, state, and property information provided by the author to the platform accessibility API (using the values as determined in steps 2 and 3 above) if an appropriate mapping exists. Refer to Mapping States and Properties to Accessibility APIs ([ARIA- PRACTICES], Section 12.1) for guidance about how to expose this information. This requirement parallels User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 Section 6.3: Programmatic Access to non-HTML/XML Content ([UAAG], Section 6.3), except that it applies even to HTML and XML content.
