Cool. I was going to say that if that's the case, then we'll want language-specific "Exposing [language] features that do not directly map to accessibility API properties" section for each of the implementation guides, but then I noticed that I was wrong and that they are already identified in the outline of the new implementation guides, so it's already been adressed.
