--- Comment #11 from Patrick H. Lauke <redux@splintered.co.uk> ---
Ah, excellent...I've been ranting recently about how default role is exposed
via accessibility APIs, but not reflected in normal JS. This would make writing
extensions that do things like "skip to main/navigation/etc" easier, as then
they wouldn't have to go through both any arbitrary element with a particular
role, AND  a list of known elements that traditionally get these default roles
- a simple iteration over any elements with specific role will suffice. Would
this also enable CSS styling based solely on attribute selectors? (e.g. *
[role=main] { ... } ) or does that need to be filed against CSS spec?
