More discussion is exactly what I’m suggesting. That’s why I said “without
efforts being made to have them widely reviewed and without ample
opportunities for others to question their utility and get (re)consideration
about whether they align with our shared understanding of the scope of ARIA
—and whether they’re solving any actual problems for real users.”

Do you really believe that’s what I said, or anything close to what I said?

“I believe there are no more actual problems to be solved on the web for
real users.” is of course in no way a fair and reasonable way to paraphrase
any part of what I said, nor to characterize what I was actually asserting.
