Hmm, I guess my language was not a clear as it should have been! Let 
me try again:

<proposal>
The role, state and value of every element of the web content can be
programmatically determined. If the state or value of an element can be
changed via the user interface, it can also be changed 
programmatically.
</proposal>

Does this make more sense? This is trying to reflect the UAAG 
checkpoints 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3, which has a similar requirement. 

I don't think we ever expect the role to be changed via the user 
interface.
