I thought the semantic we wanted to convey is "you are here". The
essential character or @aria-current is orientation, as in "you are on
this page in a collection of pages", or "you are at this step in a
online purchasing web app", Maybe @aria-here would be better than
@aria-current; not sure.

Authors also have to contend with @aria-hidden, HTML5 @hidden, CSS
visibility:hidden, CSS display:none, CSS overflow:hidden, and maybe
others. It is not a good idea to add another aria attribute,
@aria-displayed, that seems to have something to do with what is rendered.
