I like the role expansion. I think some of these other roles might also merit being allowed on fieldset:

@scottaohara @smhigley Am not understanding the use cases for making control grouping/labelling semantic elements into non control grouping.

@stevefaulkner happy to talk about this when i get back to work in the new year. but quickly, the intent here is to stop disallowing the use of roles on elements where it's actually preventing the ability for some developers to rectify poor markup.

An alternate proposal i have also been working on is to more clearly indicate what roles MUST NOT be used by developers, vs those which belong more in the SHOULD NOT category (e.g., use the appropriate HTML element instead). article, and maybe some of the roles that Sarah mentioned, could very well belong to the 'should not' category... more on that when we speak though.
