In looking to address Sarah's comment, and re-reviewing the initial issue, I think I missed the mark on what needed to be called out here. So, this revision is an attempt to simplify/clarify what I was trying to say before (that a link should not inherit the disabled state from a parent element). This also removes the word "focusable" , as per the original issue a `<div role=textbox>` should still be communicated as being in the disabled state if a descendant of a `role=group aria-disabled=true`. Note: that the alternative here is to instead move forward with Aaron's issue #1632, and remove the allowance for a `group` to be marked as disabled. The caveat I see here is that since `group` is allowed in a `listbox` and `menu`, a `group` should probably still be allowed to be marked as disabled in these contexts... so that's tricky.

The native disabled attribute is still supported on
<fieldset>, which is a group.There is still a rule in aria-disabled that it applies to all focusable descendants. Perhaps this rule could go away, but it is probably still useful for listbox, menu, menubar, rowheader, and columnheader.
