Reason to include `ROLE_DESCRIPTION` explicitly is that role description is fetched and read by the accessibility client application.
The change in MacAccessible.java line 1302 and in WinAccessible line 799, are specifically for ROLE_DESCRIPTION.
Windows Narrator appends this role description after dialog title.
