Comment (by Cheffheid):

 Out of curiosity, why `aria-required` and not the HTML5 `required`
 attribute? (Or both, if support is a concern, though with 4.8 dropping
 IE10 and older I think we should be safe).

 I think I'd personally prefer using the `required` attribute because it
 comes with the benefits of `aria-required` and also has a client-side
 validation component. That is to say, a browser won't even submit the form
 if required fields are left empty.

 And finally, I think the aim for this ticket is at least partially the
 same as #32510 - it may be worth consolidating the two (cc @afercia)?
