aria-ISSUE-1048 (roledescription role limits): roledescription usage should not be limited to elements with defined ARIA roles [ARIA 1.1 Core Mapping Specification] http://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/track/issues/1048 Raised by: James Craig On product: ARIA 1.1 Core Mapping Specification The following requirement is overly restrictive: User agents must not expose the aria-roledescription property if … The element to which aria-roledescription is applied does not have a valid WAI-ARIA role or does not have an implicit WAI-ARIA role semantic. This would mean the feature could not be used on any markup element in any host language until such a time as ARIA defined an equivalent role. As we already know ARIA is well behind the current release of HTML, this is an overly restrictive limitation and should be removed.
