…, table (#2297) closes #2180 related to recent question: #2296 related to #1764 This PR removes requiring names for alertdialog, dialog, form, grid, radiogroup and table roles and replaces the author MUST with an author SHOULD. (for grid/table there was no author MUST naming paragraph, so the author SHOULD paragraph was added to these roles). With this change there will likely be necessary updates to related APG/MDN docs. * [x] Related APG Issue/PR: w3c/aria-practices#3244 * [x] MDN Issue/PR: mdn/content#38262 * [ ] IBM Equal Access Toolkit issue

What specific section or headline is this issue about?
No response
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
The ARIA WG will be changing the roles alertdialog, dialog, form, grid, radiogroup, and table to no longer require an accessible name, see w3c/aria#2297 for the relevant change in the specification (and discussion).
What did you expect to see?
It would be great if the relevant MDN pages could be updated to no longer require an accessible name. Ideally, they would continue to strongly suggest adding a name since a name is almost always required for other reasons (e.g., WCAG); see also the discussion on the linked ARIA issue.
