Hi Jgraham from reading issue 14 it is not clear that the process you describe is part of the issue, suggest adding your paragraph: "We need to go through the aria spec and define processing requirements for the aria properties when used in html. Where there is an overlap between the functionalities, we should decide if having the aria-property alone fulfills our requirements or whether there are compelling arguments for retaining more than one way to do it." and citing you email or adding anew issue.
