Re: Proposal: remove aria-describedat from the ARIA 1.1 specification

Any possibility of having specific roles for description and instructions?

“description” and “instruction" could be descendants of section abstract role and save all the creation of role=group aria-label=description | instructions.

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).
