[bc4a75] ARIA required owned elements - Passed Example 6 is not accurate and should fail

[giacomo-petri]

In ARIA required owned elements, passed example 6:

<div role="menu">
	<div role="group">
		<span role="menuitem">Item 1</span>
		<div role="group">
			<span role="menuitem">Item 2</span>
			<span role="menuitem">Item 3</span>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>

should fail rather than pass.

Per ARIA specs, the role="menu" accepts group as acc child only if one of the following is true:

• group with accessibility child menuitem
• group with accessibility child menuitemradio
• group with accessibility child menuitemcheckbox

Instead in this testcase, the group has another role group, which is not acceptable.

As mentioned today, this topic has been brought to the ARIA group. You can find the reference here: w3c/aria#2438
