RE: Agenda: April 28, 2016 WAI-ARIA Working Group

I believe one of the original proposals too was to allow the use of aria-controls as well in special cases when an explicit association is needed, such as when a text field is focused and includes role=combobox, but references another node such as role=option via aria-activedescendant.

Currently the only option listed in this section is the use of aria-owns, which is problematic in this case.

One of the changes to aria-activedescendant is the special case where the active item is not actually a descendant.
