Currently, we're having a situation with how DRT outputs rolenames in GTK, since it's not always the same way that Mac does it, and this results in the need of keeping different expected files for accessibility layout tests just because that.

For instance, for a given a11y object exposing a link, we have this:

  - Mac's DRT: "AXRole: AXLink"
  - GTK's DRT: "AXRole: link" 

Thus, it would be great if we could make GTK's DRT to output the same string than Mac's, specially now that we're working on improving the WAI-ARIA support in WebKitGTK, easing unskipping already existing ones, instead of having to develop new ones for GTK only.

Adding to CC people that I think might be interested on this.
