<pre>ARIA 1.1 include the following restriction on @aria-roledescription
<span class="quote">> User agents must not expose the aria-roledescription property if … The value of aria-roledescription is empty or contains only whitespace characters.</span >
Which seems fine. Please implement.
Also note the following restriction in the same section:
<span class="quote">> 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.</span >
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.
