Editorial: role-properties contains redundant properties (specific and global deprecated)

[giacomo-petri]

In the DPUB specifications, certain DPUB roles, like doc-backlink, include duplicate attributes (such as aria-disabled and aria-haspopup). This occurs because specific attributes are allowed, but the deprecated global attributes were mistakenly retained, even though they are not applicable to the specific role.

Full list of DPUB roles with this behaviour:

• doc-backlink
• doc-biblioref
• doc-glossref
• doc-noteref
• doc-pagebreak (differently from WAI-ARIA specs, required attributes are in the same cell of other attributes)

Hi @giacomo-petri

thanks for putting this together.

The group decided to move these two specs forward to Proposed Recommendation. If we make these changes just now, this will mean it'll take longer for us to get to REC, which is what the DPUB team have been pursuing.

CCing @mattgarrish for his input on this.

Similar to the other issue, I don't expect we can fix this now without having to restart at CR. It's ugly, but I don't think the duplication changes anything in terms of usage, does it?

But it would definitely be good to get this fixed once the 1.1 REC is published.

@giacomo-petri is there are a reason why this issue was filed in the ARIA repository and not the DPUB-ARIA repository? Otherwise I'd transfer it over.

[giacomo-petri]

My mistake, please move it to the DPUB-ARIA repository.
Thanks

Note: in doc-pagebreak, along with the repetition of deprecated states/properties, all other properties are also repeated twice.
