ALT+del is used for "remove current tab" in http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/#tabpanel
This conflicts with "Say Active Cursor" in JAWS. We should choose a different keystroke.

We have several such conflicts ... in this particular case I was never
clear why vanilla delete is not specified. What else would the user be
deleting when the focus is on a tab????

Yes. There are many that need to get cleaned up. I simply want to start
logging them so we can resolve them rather than forgetting about them.
We also have the problem that there is no Delete key on Mac laptops - so we
may want to specify something else too.

James

In some of these cases, I would really like to say something like "The
standard platform key mapping for the delete function, such as delete in
Windows and Linux and command-backspace in OSX". ... That moves the text
in the direction of an Indie UI type of approach. Perhaps there are a
number of these for which we provide a table and then assign the function
instead of the key assignment.

Temporary fix until auto-publishing is working:

Manually update respec snapshot to call mapping-tables.js from gh-pages
branch instead of master to avoid “require is not defined” error and
get the details/summary display of the mapping tables working.

- fix issue where `object` inside `pre` was getting stripped by ReSpec, removing the embedded graphics from the examples

- use the correct elements for examples in ReSpec (`aside`, not `div`) so they get numbered labels, and avoid nesting the example class

- consistently have the graphics before the code snippets in the examples

- move example introductions from code comments into regular text, and expand some of the notes

- remove `aria-flowto` from circuit-diagram.svg, and replace with labels on the visible connectors, closing Issue #1

- change use of `aria-describedby` for visible text to `aria-labelledby` in circuit-diagram.svg

- fix `defs` in place of `desc` in blueprint.svg
