add obsolete dir element #539

Closed scottaohara closed 3 months ago

scottaohara commented 6 months ago

the dir element is semantically equivalent to the UL element, and thus it should also map to role=list.

As browsers have recently updated the rendering of this element to have visual consistency with the UL element / across browsers, then too, the mappings should update to match what is spec'd in HTML.
