That introduces some constraints on host languages but it doesn't seem
to define the phrase "valid role token" or anything like that.

It implies the mere presence of one of the concrete roles actually
defined in the spec in the token list should not make the attribute
non-conforming, which seems fairly essential, but implementing
interpretations 1, 2, or 3 would all be consistent with that text.

The phrase "concrete WAI-ARIA role" doesn't seem to be clearly defined
to include or exclude custom WAI-ARIA roles.
