Re: [External Sender] aria-function details

Hi Greg,

I notice that the language surrounding the aria-function attribute says
words like, "will" (e.g. "one technique will be to use"), "example", and
"under development". Given that these attributes are not a part of WAI-ARIA
1.1, I suspect that these are proposals for new ARIA attributes to assist
persons with cognitive disabilities.
