Bug ID: 254317
Summary: AX: article speaks "landmark" and shows up in
landmarks rotor on iOS-only
Product: WebKit
Version: WebKit Nightly Build
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: Accessibility
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: jcraig at apple.com

There were some comments on a public accessibility slack that WebKit/VoiceOver vends landmarks inconsistently between the Mac and iOS systems. In particular, role="article" is not in the landmarks list for the ARIA spec, but iOS treats it similar to one. The role description is spoken as "article, landmark" and articles appear in the landmark rotor. Neither of these is true on Mac.
Of note, the Mac platform roles for landmarks all start with AXLandmark*: AXLandmarkMain, AXLandmarkNavigation, etc... but article is exposed as "AXDocumentArticle" so the bug is probably either downstream in the iOS mapping or outside of WebKit.
The commenter's motivation is not clear to me the yet. I'm unsure if there is real user workflow hindered by the verbosity or rotor, or if the report is purely academic.
In any case, I agree that the behavior between platforms should be consistent, unless the VO users on the QA team requested this difference for some reason.
