Description Bryan Garaventa 2016-04-20 17:34:16 UTC
The ARIA 1.1 specification is lacking aria-posinset and aria-setsize support for all of the roles menuitem, menuitemcheckbox, and menuitemradio, which is needed for complex markup structures where parent child relationships are difficult to calculate within the browser.

It is important that these two attributes be added to the supported attributes section for each of these roles to ensure future interoperability across devices when applied.

It should be there and I am pretty sure Mozilla implements it already for starters.

Please create an issue.
