Your comment on ARIA19: Using ARIA role=alert or Live Regions to Identify
Errors:

Working Group Resolution (LC-2912):
Thank you for your comment.  Internet Explorer currently has incomplete
support for ARIA roles, including the alert role. We will provide a note in
the user agent notes for this technique that specifically addresses this
limitation in IE.
