48-Hour CfC: Publish third (4th) release of the Note ARIA Authoring Practices 1.1

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the ARIA Working Group on the 
question of publishing a fourth (4th) release of the Note ARIA Authoring
Practices 1.1. The content to be published can be found at:
https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria-practices/apg-1.1r4-candidate/aria-practices.html

Summary of changes

Major additions and revisions:

* Added section providing guidance on coding and composing accessible
   names and descriptions. This section comprehensively covers ARIA and
   HTML naming and describing techniques as well as specific guidance for
   every ARIA role.
* Added example of a site navigation bar ( " menu system " ) with
   dropdown lists of links coded using the disclosure pattern.
* Added an example of a date picker based on the dialog and grid
   patterns. A modal dialog contains a calendar grid that presents
   buttons for each day of a month.
* Added an example of a date picker that uses three spin buttons for
   day, month, and year.
* Image Carousel Example: Updated the example so that the rotation
   control is always visible instead of only being visible for keyboard
   users who move focus into the carousel region. Also changed the
   controls so they are implemented with HTML button elements instead of
   links with the button  role.
* Toolbar Example: Added popup text labels for icons that are displayed
   on both hover and focus.

Minor revisions of guidance or implementation were made to the following 
design patterns and examples:

* Editor Menubar Example: Updated example so that meta data used by the
   scripts is specified using data-  attributes instead of with rel
   attributes.
* Radio Group with Active Descendant Example: Removed unused keycodes
   and fixed linting issues.
