I suspect that not all ARIA attributes are automatically inherited by all descendant elements and should be output by AT for these descendant elements (e.g. according to the specification aria-disabled is inherited by descendant elements, but aria-haspopup probably not). I suggest:

  • if all attributes are inherited to all descendant elements, this should be mentioned in the introduction
  • if only certain attributes are inherited by all or certain descendant elements, this should be mentioned with the respective attribute.

The question arose because in APG: Data Grid Examples the aria-sort is not perceptible at the child element (w3c/aria-practices#1175, FreedomScientific/standards-support#319).

This causes much trouble and should be addressed with priority.
