proliferation of reference roles in the dpub aria spec.

As I said, I have had somewhat of a concern about the numerous definition
of roles that are essentially links. The Coga task force wants to introduce
and aria-destination attribute for links to create standard destinations
users would go to to enable consistent style of the UI for familiarity to
the user.

See the aria-destination attribute from coga:
https://rawgit.com/w3c/coga/master/issue-papers/links-buttons.html

So for these roles I would prefer to have:

<div role="link" aria-destination="biblioentry"> as opposed to
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/dpub.html#dpub-biblioref

similarly:

<div role="link" aria-destination="glossentry" as opposed to
http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/aria/dpub.html#dpub-glossref

This would cause us to start folding in some of the coga features into ARIA
1.1.

Feedback? Coga has similar needs.
