Description Joanmarie Diggs 2021-09-23 05:32:09 PDT 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Load `data:text/html,<div role='grid' aria-level='2'>...</div>`
2. View the element using Accerciser

Expected results: The level of the grid would not be exposed because in ARIA 1.2 aria-level stopped being a supported property on grid and tablist. The spec also states:

> User agents MUST ignore non-global states and properties used on an element without a role supporting the state or property

Actual results: The level is exposed.

It doesn't seem to be exposed in Safari. Also, removing the role completely doesn't stop the exposure. So we're presumably just passing it along all the time in ATK.
