The following roles are new in ARIA 1.2 and need to be added to the spec

  • blockquote => <blockquote>
  • caption => <caption> and <figcaption>
  • code => <code>
  • definition => revised, no HTML element match
  • deletion => <del>
  • emphasis => <em>
  • generic => <div>, <span>, & other user facing elements with no meaningful ARIA role.
  • insertion => <ins>
  • meter => <meter>
  • paragraph => <p>
  • strong => <strong>
  • subscript => <sub>
  • superscript => <sup>
  • term => <dfn> and not <dt>
  • time => <time>

(removed label and legend these likely won't be added anymore)

ARIA 1.3 roles

  • mark => <mark>
  • suggestion => no HTML element
  • comment => no HTML element

The following roles may be changed in their naming

  • associationlist => <dl>
  • associationlistkey => <dt>
  • associationlistvalue => <dd>

Is there a final version? I thought 1.2 was still in progress. The latest editors draft includes some of the above

Stupid me! Of course 1.2 is still a WD. I am ahead of time that's all :)

They made it into the mentioned version. Now ARIA really re-implements HTML in roles.

Adding allowed aria-* attributes and allowed roles labels as the updated implicit roles may require some changes for certain elements.

add new aria 1.2 roles
8f781ab 
closes #200

Adds `blockquote`, `caption`, `code`, `deletion`, `emphasis`, `generic`, `insertion`, `meter`, `paragraph`, `strong`, `subscript`, `superscript`, `time`.

Updates links from referencing ARIA 1.1 to ARIA 1.2

changes / corrects `dd` and `dt` to not reference an ARIA role, as `definition` and `term` were corrected in ARIA 1.2 to not be associated with these elements.

TODO:
more elements map to `generic`.  

These are non-normative updates, since these roles are defined in ARIA 1.2/CORE AAM and the HTML mappings in HTML AAM, respectively.

Different roles to distinguish between ordered and unordered lists?

@WW3 that wouldn't be defined here. See w3c/aria#961 instead
