You probably already know this, but the one clue I know of is in the Core-AAM [1]. The set of managed states are the ones that change regardless of the presence of an aria-* state or property. That means that these are AAPI states that are managed by the user agent even when the author has not used ARIA. As an example (warning: speculation ahead), when a document loads into the browser, there is a point where it is considered loaded, and the browser fires an onloaded event. I speculate, for example, that the user agent initially sets STATE_BUSY while the document is loading, and then clears it when the document is loaded (note: using ATK-AT-SPI state here). Somewhere, for each AAPI, there is a list of states it supports. See, for example, Mozilla's list of MSAA states [2]. Which ones are managed by the browser irrespective of ARIA?
