aria-practices Draft guidance on aria-details

aria-details is new to ARIA 1.1. It would be very useful to include best practices for details, especially as opposed to described-by. Members of DPUB can be called upon to assist or provide samples.

Aside from the obvious examples of descriptions being hidden by default, it would be valuable to see examples of descriptions displayed by default. (This is a request from George Kerscher on behalf of DAISY et al)

This is now critical for the spec with the changes for annotations to support multiple idrefs

Content to support this can be taken from https://github.com/aleventhal/aria-annotations

#994 covers aria-details and has been merged. Can this issue be closed?

@zcorpan I see this was done but do not see it in the latest editors draft https://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/#describing_techniques

Looks like https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/pull/1062 removed it

Ah right, OK. Thanks.

Biggest problem for general usage of aria-details outside of DPUB is support screen readers, but maybe the ARIA-AT project can help shine light on this problem,
