suggestion for ARIA 1.1 - allow aria-slelcted on more roles

Allow the aria-selected state on any focusable element

http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/states_and_properties#aria-selected

Rationale

quite often on web sites and web apps it would be useful to provide an
indication of current selection, for example on a step in a process, but it
is not appropriate or practical to use the currently defined roles that
aria-selected is allowed on.
