What is the current behavior?
In #25800, we added a default
aria-labeltoion-alertin order to resolve an Axe violation. However, there are two problems with this resolution:aria-labelof'Alert'isn't any better than having no label at all, as it doesn't give any useful information. If anything, it can lead developers into a false sense of security due to the lack of Axe errors.alertdialogrole must also have anaria-describedbyattribute.Issue URL: N/A
What is the new behavior?
aria-labelreplaced witharia-labelledbyandaria-describedby. The former points to theheader(or thesubHeaderif no header is defined), and the latter points to themessage.message), the attribute is left unset.Does this introduce a breaking change?
