We currently have the scenario in which one user agent (Safari) is following what's in the Core-AAM, e.g. for deletion:

AXRole: AXGroup
AXSubrole: AXDeleteStyleGroup
AXRoleDescription: 'group'

And another (Chrome) is following it for AXRole and AXSubrole, but providing a more specific AXRoleDescription:

AXRole: AXGroup
AXSubrole: AXDeleteStyleGroup
AXRoleDescription: 'deletion'

I've been discussing this matter with Apple and Google. A resolution is in progress. Once the resolution has been finalized, we'll need to update Core-AAM accordingly.

Remove AXRoleDescription mappings from the role table
533b9a0 
The Core-AAM provides a link to a note in each AXAPI table cell.
That note states the following:

    User agent should return a user-presentable, localized
    string value for the AXRoleDescription.

User agents are indeed doing that, but not agreeing 100% on what
that string value should be. After consulting with Apple, the
decision was made make the mappings to AXRoleDescription non-normative
and remove the specific mappings from the table.

Closes github issue #57.
