I abbreviated the name to aria-roledesc as it is too long. Note: SVG has a <desc> element. In the discussion we agreed to limit the roles that this attribute would be applied to in ARIA 1.1 to "group" and "region". The following is spec. text for aria-roledesc for the states and properties spec file. <div class="property" id="aria-roledesc"> <h3 class="property-name" id="aria-roledesc_header"><code>aria-roledesc</code> <span class="type-indicator">(property)</span></h3> <p class="permalink"><a href="states_and_properties#aria-roledesc" title="Permalink for aria-roledesc">#</a></p> <div class="property-description"> <p>Provides a human readable, localized string name for the role of the element. The role of the element <em>MUST</em> have a computed value of <a class="role-reference" href="roles#goup"><code>group</code></a> or <a class="role-reference" href="roles#region"><code>region</code</a> to apply aria-roledesc.</p> <p class="note" role="note">Note: The computed role of the element is localized by applicable assistive technologies. The aria-roledesc property provides a mechanism for the author to provide that localized string in its place.</p> </div> <table class="property-features"> <caption>Characteristics of aria-roledesc</caption> <thead><tr><th scope="col">Characteristic</th><th scope="col">Value</th></tr></thead> <tbody> <tr><th class="property-applicability-head" scope="row">Used in Roles:</th> <td class="property-applicability"> <ul> <li><a class="role-reference" href="roles#goup"><code>group</code></a></li> <li><a class="role-reference" href="roles#region"><code>region</code></a></li> <ul> </td> </tr> <tr><th class="property-value-head" scope="row">Value:</th> <td class="property-value"><a href=" states_and_properties#valuetype_string">string</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> The following spec. text goes into role group and role region under supported states and properties: <li><a class="property-reference-" href=" states_and_properties#aria-roledesc"><code>aria-roledesc</code></a> (noninhertitable by subclass roles)</li> We will need to make sure the model generator picks this change up.
