There are several places in required owned elements that this "→" symbol is used, with a title of "containing". For example table has this:

Required Owned Elements:

  • row
  • rowgroup → row

As far as I can tell, this "containing" thing is never explained anywhere in ARIA. I would expect it to be under 5.2.6 Required Owned Elements. This seems like an oversight.

In ARIA 1.3, we removed the right-pointing-arrow (such as in table) and the left-pointing arrow (such as in row) and replaced them with "containing" and "contained by" respectively.

Perhaps we should just go one further and replace "containing" with "owning", and "contained by" with "owned by".
