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.
