1470229 - Reader mode strips aria-label

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Reader Mode, defect, P1)

Description

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

STR:

1. Load https://s.codepen.io/joe-watkins/debug/gKWJva
2. Observe that the first "Read Next" link has an aria-label attribute.
3. Toggle reader mode
4. Observe the the fist "Read Next" link is missing it's aria-label

We should preserve all 'role' and 'aria-*' attributes. Some attributes that define relations like aria-labelledby with ids that were stripped will be broken. I wouldn't worry about it, and leave it to our a11y engine to try and fail to resolve those.

Looks like this is done in nsTreeSanitizer via nsIParserUtils. 'role' seems to be fine.

Should we create a new flag about preserving aria attributes, or should they really be part of the default HTML attributes corpus defined here:

Flagging xidorn because I don't know who to ask!

I have some idea about how to fix it. Keep the ni? for now.
