How to apply pronunciation rules to ARIA attributes? #87

Sorry if I missed something, but I'd like to better understand how pronunciation rules could be added to an ARIA attribute that's normally read out by screen readers, such as aria-label, aria-roledescription, aria-valuetext, etc.

Right now the spec seems to focus on pronunciation rules for static text in an HTML document only, but for a modern web page that makes use of ARIA, it seems important to understand how those pronunciation rules should apply to accessible text in ARIA attributes too.

This is an excellent point. Thank you for the comment. It's still being reviewed by the TF. I think the use of aria-labelledby would surpass aria-label where speech information were needed. But this is a bigger issues for aria-valuetext which doesn't have an idref corollary.
