Hi. Do I understand that typical scenario of this attribute looks the following way: <div id="nav"> <button aria-current="false" aria-currentfor="nav">1</button> <button aria-current="true" aria-currentfor="nav">2</button> <button aria-current="undefined">3</button> </div> If so then aria-current="undefined" dupes aria-currentfor, or do you consider the scenario when UA fixes missed aria-currentfor?
