Subject: Re: FW: Proposal: remove aria-describedat from the ARIA 1.1
specification
I have created a demo making use of aria-flowto: and aria-label=Description
with group=role to give an idea of how it may work if an identifying role
is added. It primarily demonstrates the utility of aria-flowto in providing
a bi-directional relationship between 2 objects in the DOM.

Preponderance of opinion on the Dpub-ARIA call is for a main role, as it
should be generally available, not just in epubs.
Expect a conversation about this on today's ARIA call starting at 12:30
Boston (17:30 UTC).
