Exactly, but it's important to note that at present the new token values for aria-haspopup within ARIA 1.1 are not supported anywhere as yet, so any value will still be interpreted as "true", meaning that it maps to the presence of a popup menu.

Within a year or so we should be seeing much better support for this, since ARIA 1.1 has just gone into CR status this week and will hopefully be ratified by the beginning of the year.

When using role=combobox, it is not necessary to include aria-haspopup, because this property is implicitly set by the browser within the accessibility tree.
