Comment (by flixos90):

 Replying to [comment:17 joedolson]:
 > Due to the significant accessibility limitations of implementing the
 `popover` group of attributes without external JS support, we're moving
 this to future release. If later iterations of these attributes offer more
 sufficient accessibility support, such that a creator adding them in the
 editor with no external support can create an accessible interface, then
 we can reconsider.

 Could you elaborate on the accessibility limitations? I have been
 exploring the use of the `popover` attributes myself, and so far had the
 understanding that many of the accessibility best practices were built-in.
 So I'm curious what the limitations are - not purely related to this
 ticket, but generally.
