Minor clarification. There is no @aria-description (Maciej may be thinking of
AXDescription?) but the spirit of the comment is correct. @aria-describedby is
exposed as AXHelp most of the time, which can be spoken automatically or upon
request depending on the user's VoiceOver preferences, so yes, it exists in
Safari+VoiceOver.
