Re: Revert request for r5981, and moving forward on ISSUE-129

It was not expected or aksed that the whole text be copied, it was
where something had been inserted or deleted, every thing else was as
it was from the revision of the spec I copied it from

as it said in the original email:

"> A copy of the aria section revision 1.4093. with the required changes:
>
> the required changes are in the 2 data tables.
> each deletion and insertion is marked using the <ins> and <del> elements."

nothing else was changed from the revision.

so what are the mistakes?
