Just to get the ball rolling...

Wouldn't the download attribute affect the mapping for <a> and <area> much like href does? In other words, the download attribute itself is not mapped to the AAPIs (although its value may get used for the filename in the browser's save dialog if that's what the browser ends up doing when the download link is activated). But if an <a> or <area> have a download attribute (and obviously also an href), it affects how the <a> or <area> is mapped to the AAPI. In this case we could add new rows in the element mapping table for <a> with @download, and <area> with @download.

So the mappings would be the same as for <a> and <area> with href, namely leveraging the ARIA link role mappings. But additionally,

1. For IA2 and ATK, some kind of "download" object attribute?

2. For UIA, localized control type like "Link download"?

3. For AXAPI, an AXSubrole "Download" and AXRoleDescription "Link download"?

HTML AAM is no longer an ARIA Deliverable. If you wish to pursue this issue please file at https://github.com/w3c/html-aam/issues
