Description Dominic Mazzoni 2012-10-24 10:32:08 PDT 
According to the ARIA spec, several ARIA roles should have their aria-live implicitly set, e.g.: http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/roles#log

role="alert" -> aria-live="assertive"
role="log" -> aria-live="polite"
role="status" -> aria-live="polite"

Do you have a test case where this doesn't work? My recollection is that these work as expected without the need for an explicitly aria-live value.

I can't repro. Looks like the code is implemented correctly.
