Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: If you changed the role of a <details> element, the user could no
longer expand the <details> element to get to its contents. That would be a net
loss of accessibility. If you have a group of radio buttons inside a <details>
and you need to wrap them with role=radiogroup, then you should use an element
for that group; <details> is not it.
