Manuel, what work remains to be done here?

The implementation work should be ready, unless someone changes on the spec side.
The only remaining bit would be enabling AriaReflectionForElementReferencesEnabled flag by default, but I guess that would need to wait for some spec work.

From the spec side, these properties need to be re-added to ARIA spec.
They were there for a while, but got removed until the HTML spec gets updated:
https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1260

The HTML PR is: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/3917
I've posted a comment today with the updates to see if it can get merged and unblock the situation.

It looks like there's a missing bit from the spec that we are not implementing yet. I've reported a separated bug about that, see bug #240563.

An update on the status.

WebKit implementation is feature complete and passes all the tests.

The HTML PR has been merged: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/7934

I've sent a PR for ARIA to add these attributes back to the IDL: https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1755

So I guess it's up to you to decide when you want to enable this feature by default. I can prepare the patch for that, if you ask me to do it.

I have no opposition to enabling by default.
