RE: Proposed two new roles to support the description list elements in HTML5

Scott,

Thank you for the feedback, I have added additional authoring requirements for list, listitemdescription and listitemterm.

For listitemdescription to match requirements for <dd> in HTML, should the listitemdescription role mention that not only must it be a child of a list, but that it should be preceded by at least one listitemterm in the list?

I have proposed two new roles in the context of the list role to support the DT and DD elements in HTML5 for role parity:

listitemdescription role:
https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria/issue504-description-list-roles/index.html#listitemdescription<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__raw.githack.com_w3c_aria_issue504-2Ddescription-2Dlist-2Droles_index.html-23listitemdescription&d=DwMFaQ&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=9I76s_DQeMyePDM1NLeRmzQO75RtgjJ9Clf1LQyt7-I&m=7YIZ8321oZQpAnIaGSos_CqzhkKfuuCPoM_gjTyhAFY&s=2c0Vr7T6wVlIZAfxnpXPdQ7mt0GmW8dDNAnYDzrMN0s&e=>

listitemterm role:
https://raw.githack.com/w3c/aria/issue504-description-list-roles/index.html#listitemterm<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__raw.githack.com_w3c_aria_issue504-2Ddescription-2Dlist-2Droles_index.html-23listitemterm&d=DwMFaQ&c=OCIEmEwdEq_aNlsP4fF3gFqSN-E3mlr2t9JcDdfOZag&r=9I76s_DQeMyePDM1NLeRmzQO75RtgjJ9Clf1LQyt7-I&m=7YIZ8321oZQpAnIaGSos_CqzhkKfuuCPoM_gjTyhAFY&s=NlVfw2GeLmzEirXo-trv7O806NuZRi8z520-tBbBfx4&e=>

Updated the list role definition to include the two new roles:

Question
Do we need to support the group role with listiemdescription and listitemterm?

NOTE: This proposal follows a similar pattern as extending menuitem with the  menuitemcheckbox and menuitemradio roles.
