Hi ian,

>and the off-page link features of ARIA,

ther are no 'off-page link features' currently specified in ARIA.


>as well as an API for handling focus and magnification for ATs

It makes focus movement an 'option' for screen magnifiers, thus introducing
a different focus behaviour than for other elements (still an open bug

btw this is not an objection.
