Description Andi Snow-Weaver 2009-10-01 21:10:22 UTC 
From the September 22nd meeting
http://www.w3.org/2009/09/22-aapi-minutes.html

SP: CSS Selectors seems redundant. Any attribute ends up in the DOM.
... Suggests removing the section altogether

DB: Having it here means that if you're implementing ARIA you should do that too

CS: Wonder if it's just a note
... To have implemented ARIA, you need to implement CSS selectors

SP: Why are they a requirement?

DB: basically a SHOULD, way for Web developers to code ARIA-enabled applications
... more of a best practices things

SP: guess ARIA is pretty useless if browser doesn't support CSS Selectors

CS: concern that if use classes and presentation changes, ARIA won't get updated
