Hi Alex,

The values of @aria-destination are a token list. Accessible names are
arbitrary strings.
It can be thought of as a sub-role. For example, the role is still a
link, but in some cases it's a link to the home page; in others, to a
glossary entry, and so on. In that way it's similar to the @rel
attribute, as has been pointed out in other threads.

It's not clear whether it would be used by an assistive technology.
That's under discussion. But, as a data point, the ARIA documents all
have a glossary, and links to the definitions are scattered throughout.
Those links are styled differently than other links and it's obvious at
a glance that they are glossary links (well, obvious to an editor).
