Incorrect operating instruction for spinbutton

[JAWS-test]

Summary

Incorrect operating instruction for spinbutton

1. Open https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/spinbutton/datepicker-spinbuttons.html
2. Navigate with Tab key to the spinbuttons

Expected result

Correct operating instructions

Actual result

The operating instructions "To set the value use the Arrow keys or type the value." are wrong because no value can be entered. According to ARIA specification text input is not necessary for spinnbutton. See also: https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/1155

@JAWS-test it may be difficult for JAWS to determine whether text can be entered into a particular spinbutton, so the hint could get quite wordy: "To set the value use the arrow keys. Some spinbuttons allow you to type the value" - do you feel this would suffice?

[JAWS-test]

JAWS should recognize whether or not the spinbutton allows text input. The operating instructions should be output correctly depending on the type of spinbutton. According to @mcking65, this is possible and therefore a JAWS error; see https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/1155#issuecomment-526821857 Unfortunately, I do not know how JAWS can make the difference. If that is not possible, my tickets should be reopened, see https://github.com/w3c/html-aam/issues/234 and https://github.com/w3c/aria-practices/issues/1155

[JAWS-test]

@frex65 In NVDA the output is correct. This is because the "editable" property is not transmitted for spinbuttons without text input.
