Discovered while reviewing https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D43293 (bug 1357071).
accessible/tests/mochitest/role/test_aria.html contains lots of self-closing XHTML tags (/>). For example:
<span id="aria_alert" role="alert"/>
However, this is definitely an HTMl file, not an XHTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
The practical upshot is that these tags that are supposed to close never do. We end up with an alert containing an alertdialog containing an application... and so on. Because these are just role tests, this normally isn't noticeable. However, it does have an impact for roles like region which change depending on whether there is a name, which is why the ARIA implicit value work (bug 1357071) broke this. (See https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D43293#1319331 for specific details.)
For the specific case breaking bug 1357071, we'll land a fix for that there. However, we should still fix the rest of these.
