Bug: axe-core/cli validator does not report error incorrect use of aria attributes on element with role="row" (ARIA 1.2)

[spectranaut]

Product: cli

Motivation:

ARIA 1.2 introduces the following imperative in the role row definition: Authors MUST NOT apply aria-expanded, aria-posinset, aria-setsize, and aria-level to a row that descends from a table or grid.

Replication of error:

If you run the AXE cli (axe-core 4.3.2 in chrome-headless with --tags cat.aria) on an HTML with the following HTML you will see no errors.

  <div role="table">
    <div id="row11" role="row" aria-expanded="false"><div role="cell"></div></div>
    <div id="row12" role="row" aria-posinset="1"><div role="cell"></div></div>
    <div id="row13" role="row" aria-setsize="10"><div role="cell"></div></div>
    <div id="row14" role="row" aria-level="1"><div role="cell"></div></div>
  </div>

  <div role="table">
    <div role="rowgroup">
      <div id="row21" role="row" aria-expanded="true"><div role="cell"></div></div>
      <div id="row22" role="row" aria-posinset="2"><div role="cell"></div></div>
      <div id="row23" role="row" aria-setsize="8"><div role="cell"></div></div>
      <div id="row24" role="row" aria-level="3"><div role="cell"></div></div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div role="grid">
    <div id="row31" role="row" aria-expanded="false"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
    <div id="row32" role="row" aria-posinset="1"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
    <div id="row33" role="row" aria-setsize="10"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
    <div id="row34" role="row" aria-level="1"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
  </div>

  <div role="grid">
    <div role="rowgroup">
      <div id="row41" role="row" aria-expanded="true"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
      <div id="row42" role="row" aria-posinset="2"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
      <div id="row43" role="row" aria-setsize="8"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
      <div id="row44" role="row" aria-level="3"><div role="gridcell"></div></div>
    </div>
  </div>

Expectation:

You should see errors for every element with role="row" because each row has an attribute which is not permitted by the ARIA 1.2 spec.
