Problem 2 of "Characteristics of Roles section needs tidying up" aria #1263

https://github.com/orgs/w3c/projects/188/views/1

w3c/aria#1263

pkra: since my PR only addresses part of this, I'm wondering what to do about the rest.
… discussed in the group. we want to update the presentational children section.
… pkra will split out a new issue

jnurthen: what about the abstract role part?
… another case of booleans. And the characteristics tables use yet another phrasing

pkra: name required is also true/false in tables

jnurthen: and not even mentioned. I think there was an issue filed to get that.

pkra: I'll split out more issues then.

SVG-AAM accname revisions (and the broader question from Melanie on moving similar sections to accname) svg-aam #31

pkra: really about Melanie's question whether to move accname pieces from AAMs into accname.
… I wanted to bring this up here.

jnurthen: not sure about it. The markup groups could decide they want to specify accnames itself. Feels better to have it separate.

pkra: but then we could just remove it?

jnurthen: but accname is just about aria. It would be overcomplicated.

rahim: I think Melanie asked about just moving the pieces over.

jnurthen: ok. Still, I feel it would be cleaner to start "is this aria? If not, go look at other spec"

spectranaut_: we should give feedback on that PR

continued aria.js work aria #2501: how much can we refactor out of existence? (Cf. aria #1897

pkra: looking at issues blocked by the refactoring work.
… came upon w3c/aria#1897
… which made me wonder whether we want to tackle that and what that would mean.

mgarrish: I think this is just about exporting definitions.

jnurthen: right. we only export the ones we need across specs.
… not sure how useful some are.
… we should ask Don what's needed.

pkra: ok I'll ask Dom what it would take.
… when I get back to this issue.
