Just a couple of comments,

I'm not sure if this is possible but wouldn't the reference table: 
Allowed ARIA roles, states and properties 
<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/index.html#allowed-aria-roles,-states-and-properties> 
be better placed in section 3.2.7 WAI-ARIA? "ARIA role attribute" 
already references tables in this section. I'm finding it odd that the 
content is being split the way it is currently.

Is there a plan to include or mention the required properties as part of 
Allowed ARIA state and property attributes 
<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/dom.html#state-and-property-attributes> 
for each element? This would be in addition to "For role value" information

As an example a checkbox might be similar to ...

Allowed ARIA state and property attributes:
     Global aria-* attributes
     For role value checkbox and |menuitemcheckbox
   Required ||aria-checked (state)| 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/states_and_properties#aria-checked>


Thanks, the additions that are being made are helpful.
Peter
