-// TODO: the role description requires a localized string with a short description of the specific control
-//       i.e. "button" if the Role is AccessibleRole::PUSH_BUTTON. the OOo-a11y-API does not have such an attribute
-//       possible solution: hard-coded, non localized (english) descriptions (better than nothing, and voiceover
-//       reads the text in english pronounciation anyway)
-//       Use: NSAccessibilityRoleDescription
