Fw: addHitRegion does not have an inform the user section.

This text is in the addHitRegion text:

"User agents are encouraged to make use of the information present in a
canvas element's hit region list to improve the accessibility of canvas
elements."

Encouraged is in no way a must which makes it difficult to justify a
normative test.

So, there is nothing the spec. that says to inform the user when a hit
region is associated with a control. It only says this for
drawFocusIfNeeded.

Did someone drop the ball? This was discussed on the calls. ... Otherwise,
why would we have pushed for addHitRegion?

I have stopped writing testable statements until this is resolved.
