aria-invalid presence requires an accessible

Hi. UAIG requires the browser to create an accessible for the element
having aria-invalid attribute since aria-invalid is a global state:
"Elements that have a global WAI-ARIA attribute but do not have
aria-hidden="true".", see
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-implementation/#include_elements.

However aria-invalid is mapped to text attributes which doesn't need
an accessible for aria-invalid element. Thus this requirement just
unnecessary complicated the accessible tree. It'd be great to weaken
it.

Thank you.
Alex.
