OK, but we still need to specify what happens when they are used. To take the 
aria-role="heading" example again, I believe it's a requirement that a page that 
uses that has the same outline structure when viewed using a tool that uses an 
accessibility API as it does when viewed through a tool that accesses the DOM 
directly.
