AXAPI descriptions reference superclass role names #11

It appears the names have been used to map the roles.

For example, it's been noted for doc-acknowledgments that we have:

AXRoleDescription: 'region'

The result is that the role gets announced as 'acknowledgments' in Chrome and Firefox but as 'region' in Safari.

Core-AAM 1.2 no longer includes the AXRoleDescription fields, but instead includes this note:

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

We should look at implementing the same as part of fixing this problem.
