Right. The spec states that aria-haspopup is for menus:
" Indicates that the element has a popup context menu or sub-level menu."
I goes on to say that tooltips are not considered popups; tooltips
generally "pop up" on a mouse hover. That entails that aria-haspopup
should not be used except to indicate that there is a menu associated
with the current element.
Is Microsoft applying aria-haspopup to *any* content that can be
revealed on hover?
