Re: 7 Day Call for Consensus March 31, 2016 ARIA Working Group Resolution on role "password"

+1 to the resolution:

   1. Password role brings value even if not fully supported, UAs should
   map same as they map input type=password, want AT SHOULD but not MUST to
   enhance <https://www.w3.org/2016/03/31-aria-minutes.html#resolution01>


I offer up the following tweak to Joanie's wording that addresses some of
my concerns:
https://rawgit.com/AmeliaBR/aria/password-role/aria/aria.html#password

I'll send more comments to the main list discussion thread.

(PS, sorry for messing up the git history with a commit + revert. Pushed to
the wrong fork.)
