RE: ISSUE-1011: For role="text", there needs to be requirements on user agents for overrides, such as controls, events, and other global aria properties, like there is for role="presentation".

Basically, if somebody puts it on a container that includes embedded active elements like form fields and links or other interactive widget types, those widgets will still be exposed.

Otherwise, if somebody puts it on a body element, it will render the entire content inaccessible.
