Bug report
The aria-readonly attribute was removed from input elements with role "listbox" or "combobox": #1740
Currently, the WAI-ARIA specification lists these roles as compatible with the aria-readonly attribute: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#aria-readonly
As a result of the attribute removal, the DateTimePicker and the ComboBox (and potentially other widgets that render an input element with one of these two roles) in readonly state are read as "editable" by NVDA.
Reproduction of the problem
Dojo example.
Current behavior
NVDA reads them as "editable", which is incorrect.
Expected/desired behavior
The inputs should not be read as "editable"
