Joseph,
is this by definition or just the status of the actual FF implementation ?
Will this be a reference for other UA ARIA implementations?
Anyway, if this shall be common behavior, it should be persisted somewhere in the UA ARIA Implementers guide ..
Regards
Stefan

Subject: Re: [AAPI] role=""
There seems to be consensus that an element with role="" means that it's
treated as if the role attribute is absent.
A corollary is that the published role, if any, is given by the native
semantics of the markup, since that is what would happen if the role
attribute was absent. For example, this has the role checkbox:
<input type="checkbox" role="" ... >
In IA2 lingo, it's mapped to an IA2_ROLE_CHECKBOX (or whatever it's
called). It's *not* mapped to IA2_ROLE_UNKNOWN.
For semantically neutral elements, such as <div>, it would be mapped to
IA2_ROLE_UNKNOWN.
