We do not use camel case for aria-activedescendant, and activedescendant 
is longer than youarehere (16 vs 10 char); only 3 char more than 
"current".

I was joking in response to your aria-here thought, but you are right that 
it carries the semantics better than anything else we are discussing. 
Maybe it should be seriously considered as an option.

Well, it *does* express the meaning :-).  However, it's arguably too long, 
and visually requires the camel case -- compare aria-youarehere (all lower 
case).
