>From a discussion ensuing after I filed a bug against Firefox [1], it appears that the alertdialog role is not differentiated from role=dialog by AT, and not interoperably implemented in a meaningful sense. If this is the case I would suggest it be removed from ARIA as it does not appear to be useful.
