Summary:	AX: aria-description not exposed as expected

Description Scott 2023-07-12 12:25:30 PDT

Per the provided test case - https://codepen.io/scottohara/full/xxQpaBa - with iOS 16.5.1 and VoiceOver, I would have expected the aria-description value announced when swiping to each of the three test case elements  (p, span, input) .

In reality, VoiceOver announces "More content available", instead of the provided description, when swiping to the paragraph and text field (tests 1 and 3).  VoiceOver does not provide any indication a description is available when the span (test 2) has been swiped to with VoiceOver.

Note that aria-description works as expected with VoiceOver on macOS 16.5.1 with Safari 16.5.1 specifically for the text field example.  

VoiceOver does not expose the provided description for the paragraph or span element test cases.

Related to this issue, I've filed an issue for the same behavior for macOS Safari: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260835

Also, in testing today in iOS 16.6 in Safari with VO, I don't notice any announcement of additional content for either the text nodes or the text field.
