Each hit region has an associated control, which is either an element or an unbacked region description. You pass in the control when you call addHitRegion().

We should make the easy things easy and the hard things possible. Allowing hit regions to be associated with either unbacked region descriptions or elements allows for this: if you have a complex thing which requires WAI-ARIA states and properties to describe, use an element. If not, use an unbacked region description. HTH, Ted
