Issue Description

Expectation

As described in the issue #680 the spec says it is optional to have a live region for the referenced element, see https://w3c.github.io/aria/#aria-errormessage.

"Authors MAY call attention to a new error message with a live region by modifying inserting the error message into the contents of a existing, rendered element with a live region role, such as alert."

Looking at https://caniuse.com/?search=aria-errormessage, it is available in most browsers. Therefore, I don't see the necessity to fall back to a live region or similar.

So, I wouldn't expect an issue like "aria-errormessage value must use a technique to announce the message" being reported by axe-core.
Or to have a separate rule for that, so I can exclude it easier.

Actual

Reports the issue "ARIA attributes must conform to valid values" (aria-valid-attr-value) with details:

aria-errormessage value [...] must use a technique to announce the message (e.g., aria-live, aria-describedby, role=alert, etc.)

How to Reproduce

Reference an element in "aria-errormessage" that is not a live region or similar.
