note, not all these updates have landed in HTML AAM yet. but, as per last week's ARIA deep dive call, it was agreed that all these elements do make sense to map to generic.

Isn't i element meant to be treated as generic elements?

scottaohara commented 1 year ago

Yup. Thought I had done it with this PR, but clearly not

@stevefaulkner pre was discussed during the ARIA working group deep dive on elements that still needed roles, and it was determined to not be necessary, as even in the case where it might be beneficial to name it, it could always be contained within another element that does allow for naming.
