Comment (by joedolson):

 It's worth noting that if the fields are all marked as aria-required=true,
 then the asterisk is only a visual indicator, and could be marked as aria-
 hidden.

 The problem with that, obviously, is that then the sentence stating that
 required fields are marked with an asterisk will be confusing to screen
 reader users, since there would be no evidence of that asterisk in the
 required fields.
