Component libraries like SAP or Oracle might use role="dialog" > aria-roledescription="date picker" I would like to have many more practical examples of how we think this feature may be used on interactive widgets to stimulate further discussion of how limited the feature should be in ARIA 1.1. To make a point, I will pick on this date picker dialog example even though I realize James may not have offered it as a compelling or critical use case. As a screen reader user, I think I would prefer to have role=dialog and aria-label="date picker" instead of role="dialog" and aria-roledescription="date picker". The reason is that that the information that the datepicker is contained in a dialog is extremely valuable to me as user whereas "date picker" as a role tells me nothing about the interaction model. At the moment, my imagination is not revealing a compelling case for recommending or even allowing aria-roledescription on a dialog.
