- Identify Scribe

- ARIA 1.1 Meaty Issue

- WebComponents requires selector functionality in ARIA attributes that are currently limited to IDREF(S) which cannot access elements within
a web component
  - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Mar/0091.html
  - http://www.w3.org/TR/components-intro/
  - Need a workaround for DOM-based accessibility assessment tools http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Mar/0112.html
  We need to validate that all selectors resolve to a Node. Can we use eval() to do this? Need to see if eval will return null if no node available.

- Issue 427 Do we want to got for a Element.computedName and/or Element.computedRole? https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/427
   - January Face to Face Discussion Computed Role, Computed Name http://www.w3.org/2014/01/24-aria-minutes.html
   - No decision was made in the minutes but it sounded like there was consensus that we should do this and we could mark these as at risk items.
   - This would require coordination.
