Regarding the second bullet: the ARIA spec adds a row to the 
characteristics table with header "Implicit Value for Role", where 
implicit values for required states and properties are listed. Bryan 
noted that in another email in this thread.

For example, see the characteristics table for combobox: aria-expanded 
is listed as a required state, and lists an implicit value of "false" [1].

With respect to the Core-AAM, I suggest adding to the "Author Errors" 
section, which includes a table of default values for missing required 
states and properties [2].
