I have nothing against establishing a conroller-for/controlled-by relationship, but ignoring the parent/child relationship is odd. A combobox is defined as a combination of a text entry and listbox [1]. If the listbox is not a child of the combobox, what is its parent? There will be a listbox accessible in the a11y tree and it will have some parent. The use of aria-owns is reflected in ATK and IA2 by establishing a parent-of/child-of inverse relationship between the combobox parent and the listbox child that overrides the tree hierarchy (note: IE/Edge actually reorganizes the tree, and FF is considering doing the same). The listbox as a child of the combobox makes more sense than some other unrelated accessible parent. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combo_box -- ;;;;joseph. 'Die Wahrheit ist Irgendwo da Draußen.
