This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Please notice the ARIA implementation lists the AX API values as (example): AXRole: AXGroup AXSubrole: <nil> AXRoleDescription: "group" (note the quotation marks) And the table has a note stating all AXRoleDescription values are localized, user-presentable strings. The html-aapi does not make these two details clear. 1. It's a string. 2. It's localized by the user agent.

The elements mapping table includes the following sentence in the "Notes" preceding the table, as opposed to in a footnote referenced from the AX column header: "User agents should return a user-presentable, localized string value for the Mac Accessibility AXRoleDescription." Will add quotation marks around the string values, though :)
That might be the fastest W3C edit I've ever seen.
