aria-selected is listed as required for elements with role="treeitem".
For the case of trees that support multiple selection, this is true. However, quoting the APG for single select, "If the tree does not support multiple selection, aria-selected is set to true for the selected node and it is not present on any other node in the tree." That quote indicates that the aria-selected property is only required (allowed, even) for the selected node in the case of single select trees.
This should be updated in the ARIA 1.1 spec, or else corrected/clarified in the APG.
