Even invisible <link>s can be AT-significant, though, such as <link rel=next> or <link rel=prev>. These should, imo, be considered a part of the document just as much as <a href="next-page">Next Page</a> in the <body> is. So, yeah, agreed, the ARIA root should always default to the document root. ~TJ
