Exactly. And turns out that it should not be implemented because both helpText() and aria-help are Mac specific things neither defined in the W3C specs nor applicable to ATK at all.

That said, it's true that support for helpText() has been added in the past to DRT (I did), but that was before realizing that it was a Mac specific thing and using the DumpRenderTreeSupport thing, which is something that we don't have in WK2.

So, the true solution to this is not to implement this function, but to move the tests using it to platform/mac/accessibility, remove the whole support for helpText() from DRT, remove the mapping of aria-help into an 'aria-help' AtkObject attribute in WebKitAccesibilityWrapperAtk (which is wrong as well), and stop worrying about this once and for all.
