text formatting semantics

[aleventhal]

Background: A goal of ARIA 1.2 (as I understand) is to have a complete mapping of HTML semantics. This, along with DPUB-ARIA, gets us very close to being able to express all document semantics via AOM, which would be very useful for canvas-based document systems (like Google Docs). It would also be great to have a standard means of expressing document semantics in other formats.

Feature request: provide text formatting semantics. A good start is the text formatting semantics provided for IAccessible2. See https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/accessibility/iaccessible2/textattributes

At a minimum, the IA2 text formatting semantics that match up with CSS should be supported. Perhaps more.

@aleventhal if you want to see this in 1.3 then please change back to a 1.3 Milestone

@aleventhal is this still important? Is it something we should still have in 1.4?
