Absolutely we should. > Would it be a valid use case for aria-roledescription to be used for an application-specific role that's more useful to the user than a generic role - but specifically one that we're never likely to standardize? For example, a webmail client might define an "attachment" object, or a presentation editor might define a "slide" object, and so on - in the case where this object doesn't really behave quite like any standard role. Of course it'd still need a valid ARIA role as a fallback, one that's close enough that it will put AT into the right mode - but the role description will tell the user a lot more about what it is. - Dominic
