Re: Bug 11893 and its dependent bugs

The source of the bugs is the WAI-ARIA lexical processing document
http://www.w3.org/2011/01/aria-lexical-processing

the document states (note:the content in brackets are the associated
bugs added for illustrative purposes):

HTML ISSUE-129 addresses ARIA integration in HTML 5. The Protocols and
Formats Working Group will pursue the following steps to clarify
lexical processing of WAI-ARIA in HTML 5 as part of this issue:

 Provide a definition for the role attribute, since one is not defined
by WAI-ARIA. This should be a global attribute.
(Bug 11891 - add role attribute to list of global attributes and add
definition for it )

 Define in Annotations for assistive technology products (ARIA) that
the states and properties are formally HTML attributes, in addition to
simply providing mapping information.
(Bug 11892 - explicitly state that ARIA states and properties are
formal/normative HTML attributes)

Expand the same section to describe rules for lexical processing of
WAI-ARIA attributes.
 ( Bug 11893 - define lexical processing rules for ARIA attributes)


Which is why the bugs are part of issue 199. Is that sufficient explanation?

best regards
