Re: Updated combobox examples for APG

Bryan,

I think we can have examples in the APG that represent the alternatives,
and when things are finalized we delete the examples that donšt implement
the specification.
This is especially useful for people who are not as familiar with the
issue,  seeing alternatives in code helps people not tracking the issues
as closely. 
These examples do work in other browsers like Firefox with JAWS and NVDA,
so common examples are important for people can use to test and understand
the issues.
We can make additional examples putting combobox on the input element.
