Steps to reproduce:

Related to this ARIA issue: https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1730
And PR: https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/1802

It'd be nice to get Mozilla opinion there.

If that finally merges, we have to update aria-errormessage to allow a list of IDs.
I guess we should wait until the PR land, but just in case filling the bug here.

JFYI, WebKit already supports a list.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Disability Access APIs' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Disability Access APIs
Product: Firefox → Core

Similar to aria-details in bug 1608883, Gecko already implements this as a list of ids, rather than a single id, as it was easier to do it this way rather than special casing. Strictly speaking, our implementation doesn't comply with the spec as it currently stands in allowing multiple ids, but it looks like that was a desirable "bug". :)

I'll leave this open to add a test for it.

I'll try to get to the spec PR early in the new year.
