Answering questions about aria-valuenow on spinbutton

Team,

 

As follow up to today's spinbutton discussion, I have responded to Zack's
questions in issue 704:

https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/704

 

Based on our discussion of the intent of aria-valuenow, I ran into another
unresolved issue while answering Zack's questions. What to do in response to
delete events? My basic question is whether or not it is reasonable for a
spinbutton to not have a value. If it is, and, I think it is, then we have a
problem because aria-valuenow is required, which means it cannot be empty.
Please see ARIA issue 797:

Finally, before I merge guidance on aria-invalid, I'd like some reviews of
what I wrote. I put it in pull request 825:
