           Summary: AX: don't expose empty roledescription
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

ARIA 1.1 include the following restriction on @aria-roledescription

> User agents must not expose the aria-roledescription property if … The value of aria-roledescription is empty or contains only whitespace characters.

Which seems fine. Please implement.


Also note the following restriction in the same section:
> User agents must not expose the aria-roledescription property if … The element to which aria-roledescription is applied does not have a valid WAI-ARIA role or does not have an implicit WAI-ARIA role semantic.

Which seems overly restrictive and I asked for it to be removed. FWIW, I doubt we'd want to implement this restriction even if the WG declines the spec change.
