revert request for http://html5.org/r/6574

The editor made changes in the conformance ARIA role conformance
requirements on 2011-09-23:

http://html5.org/r/6574 <http://html5.org/r/6574%20>

This change contradicts the HTML working group consensus decision:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Mar/0005.html


The  associated bug
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13291simply states:

"it doesn't make sense for <button> to be exposed as a link or radio button;
it would just confuse users told to "click the button" "

no further rationale was provided for the change.

I therefore request a revert of the change.
