+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #26135 +++

currently the html spec requires[1] the output element be mapped to role=status
, at least one implementer (mozilla) has issue with this. They map it a to a
generic role but with aria-live=polite.

would like to get further feedback on this.
