Fix the role attribute definition. #2145

Open jyasskin opened 3 months ago

jyasskin commented 3 months ago

@marcoscaceres' #1516 changed https://w3c.github.io/aria/#host_general_role to use a <dfn> for the role attribute, and then @jnurthen's a56ae1818d0933145e6bf0b07c5884580d5f77b5 changed it back. This paragraph claims that "An implementing host language will provide a role attribute", but HTML does not in fact provide one, and @marcoscaceres filed https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6890 to have HTML remove its <dfn> for the term.

I don't have a preference for where the attribute is defined for HTML elements, but it should be defined somewhere.

Is it supported on elements outside the HTML, SVG, and MathML namespaces? If so, DOM would probably be the best place.
