The `role` attribute is a set of [space separated tokens][]. Having a [whitespace](#whitespace) separated list of more than one token in the value of the role attribute is used for what is known as _fallback roles_. If the first token is not accessibility supported (or valid), the next one will be used for determining the [semantic role][] of the element, and so forth. The rule applies to attributes containing at least one non-[ASCII whitespace][] character so that there is at least one token in the set.

## Glossary
+### Attribute value {#attribute-value}
+
+The attribute value of a content attribute set on an HTML element is the value that the attribute gets after being parsed and computed according to specifications. It may differ from the value that is actually written in the HTML code due to trimming whitespace or non-digits characters, default values, or case-insensitivity.
+
+Some notable case of attribute value, among others:
+
+- For [enumerated attributes][], the attribute value is either the state of the attribute, or the keyword that maps to it; even for the default states. Thus `` has an attribute value of either `Image Button` (the state) or `image` (the keyword mapping to it), both formulations having the same meaning; similarly, "an input element with a `type` _attribute value_ of `Text`" can be either ``, `` (missing value default), or `` (invalid value default).
+- For [boolean attributes][], the attribute value is `true` when the attribute is present and `false` otherwise. Thus `
