Implicit ARIA semantics for summary should not be "button" #355

Closed JAWS-test closed 1 year ago

JAWS-test commented 2 years ago

In the column "Implicit ARIA semantics", summary has "button", but summary has no implicit ARIA semantics

See: https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam-1.0/#summary-element, https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2272, https://github.com/w3c/html-aam/issues/345

adding a blocked label here, because yes HTML AAM does not define summary as role=button. However, in almost all implementations this element IS exposed as a button... so indicating this in this specification isn't really inaccurate either.

I do think we could add a note to this, stating this particular implicit role matches present reality... but i do not think it solves anything to completely remove the mention of the button role, since anyone could very easily inspect the element or use a screen reader to interact with it and hear this role (again, in almost every implementation).
