Description Leif Halvard Silli 2013-05-29 04:49:02 UTC 
Plreace replace the word "roles" in the phrase "ARIA labelling and describing roles" with a relevant wording. 

Because, aria-describedby and aria-label etc are not "roles". Roles are expressed with the @role attribute.

As is, the text is only confusing.
