Description

### MDN URL

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/alertdialog_role

### 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 https://github.com/w3c/aria/pull/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.
