[Bug 7470] JimJJewett gmail: The implications of these tables should also appear at element level -- e.g, td model or dom should mention aria- -- unless it is explicitly not exposed, for some reason.

For example, the table in section 3.2.6 with the following thead

    <th>Language feature
    <th>Strong native semantics <span class=impl>and implied ARIA
semantics</span>

The first body row says that an <a> element has a strong native role of "link".
 But there is nothing in the <a> section
(http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-a-element) to indicate
this.

(1)  I believe that the <a> section should indicate the aria-* semantics, when
these are specified.

(2)  I personally believe that the <a> DOM element should also expose this
information (including default values for aria-* attributes) to scripts and
CSS, but I grant that there is not consensus on that.  (And there may be strong
reasons not to, at least in the default or implicit case.)
