It looks like WebKit supports an undocumented ARIA attribute "aria-help" - was it perhaps part of an earlier draft of the standard? I don't see it in the latest version.

Should we get rid of it? Or propose it for ARIA 2.0? Is there a wiki somewhere we could make notes on how WebKit implements various accessibility standards, especially where it deviates from the spec or has to interpret the spec in some way?

String AccessibilityRenderObject::helpText() const
{
    ...

    const AtomicString& ariaHelp = getAttribute(aria_helpAttr);
    if (!ariaHelp.isEmpty())
        return ariaHelp;
