README.md points to http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#textalternativecomputation which gives 404 Not Found: DOCUMENT NOT FOUND.

The Audit Rules Wiki which is linked to from failing tests includes broken WAI-ARIA spec links as well. All links on the page to the spec are broken.

The only working links seem to go to the HTML5 spec and the WCAG.

I'm not sure exactly which version of the WAI-ARIA spec they should point to, or I could try to fix them.

It looks like these links should maybe be pointing at the following base URL now: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.0/

Something like https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.0/roles#textalternativecomputation works. Something like https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/roles#textalternativecomputation doesn't work and based on #277 not getting any activity, I'm going to assume that these tools don't support WAI-ARIA 1.1 at all.

I'll try to update the URLs using the 1.0 spec URL.
