 In xprofile field types, required fields aren't marked with the HTML5
 "required" property, though they are marked with `aria-require`.

 I don't think we should replace the latter with the former because
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_aria-
 required_attribute says that "HTML5 now has the `required` attribute, but
 `aria-required` is still useful for user agents that do not yet support
 HTML5."

 There doesn't seem to be harm in using both.
