Steps to reproduce: 1. Load: data:text/html, <div role='group' id='test' aria-errormessage='error' aria-invalid='false'>content</div><div id='error'>hello world</div> 2. Examine the accessible relationships for ATK using a platform accessibility inspector (e.g. Accerciser) Expected results: There would be no error-for/error-message relationships between the two divs Actual results: There are error-for/error-message relationships between the two divs. According to https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.2/#aria-errormessage: > User agents MUST NOT expose aria-errormessage for an object with an aria-invalid value of false. I think this issue also applies to macOS and iOS. However, I was not able to confirm it based on the Core-AAM's stated mappings* for aria-errormessage for macOS, however this test has aria-invalid set to false and still indicates there are error elements: https://trac.webkit.org/browser/webkit/trunk/LayoutTests/accessibility/mac/aria-errormessage.html *The Core-AAM says the following for aria-errormessage: > AX API Property: AXValidationError: textual content of the referenced element But I don't see that in Accessibility Inspector when aria-invalid set to true.
