Re: [csswg-drafts] New property to control the direction of slider controls (#9832)

I largely agree that it seems we do want to ensure aria-orientation is set where appropriate and that does suggest this should be HTML driven.

That being said `aria-orientation` is only applicable to elements with a role of slider (`<input type=range>`), not to switch (`<input type=checkbox switch>`), meter (`<meter>`), nor progressbar (`<progress>`). Where as this property I would imagine applies to all 4 of those?

So I'm not sure what the best approach here would be. Potentially worth asking the aria-wg what their thoughts are on this given it has a11y impacts?
