Re: Required Aria Listbox

If you want to use aria-required you have to go with the "scrollable
listbox implementation:

https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.1/examples/listbox/listbox-scrollable.html

(do away with the button as the trigger, aria-required is valid on a
listbox role).

If you have to use a trigger button, there's always the less fancy
backup, visually hidden text/description.
