The rule description says it checks that every ID reference required by WAI-ARIA exists: https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/act/rules/in6db8/proposed/

But the rule only applies to aria-controls although the text for aria reference processing says:

Any aria-activedescendant value that does not match an existing ID reference exactly is an author error and will not match any element in the DOM.
