This is due to the recent reorg of the repository, and affects more than the core-aam.  For example, for the "latest editor's draft" of the spec:

    http://rawgit.com/w3c/aria/master/spec/aria.html

link broken on http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/

As far as I know, TR documents are immutable, so that link can't be changed.

The other possibility is to set up forwarding on github itself, i.e. URLs that reference the old organization of the repository are forwarded to the proper place in the new organization.  I don't know how to do that, or if it can be done.  If anyone does, feel free to take on this bug.

Propose to address this by resolution to Issue 6 in the github repository:

https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/6

Redirecting broken links in the github repository may still be needed since some TR documents would still have the old URI. But the upcoming republication would update the editors draft links in the "latest version" which should be most of the real world cases.

OBE, moved to new spec management system.
