In this example from the draft the proposed mechanism (whatever form it takes) would serve the same purpose as an alt attribute on a span whose contents were that glyph. In this case it’s suggesting to assistive technology that the standard “black right-pointing pointer” description of the glyph should not be read out, because the AT can rely on an aria-expanded attribute on the element.
