Checks for valid ARIA attribute names

## Solution

Use only valid ARIA attribute names as defined in the WAI-ARIA specification. Common typos include 'aria-labeledby' (should be 'aria-labelledby'), 'aria-role' (should be 'role'), and 'aria-description' vs 'aria-describedby'. Consult MDN or the WAI-ARIA spec for the complete list of valid attributes.
