yes, <summary>

HTML5 has role="heading" as strong native semantics for  <summary>.
And yet, <summary> is an intereactive element.

(PS: We probaly need a bug to track whether role="heading" is correct for
<summary> The aria-html5-proposal suggest no default role. )

However, unless HTML5's strong semantics <summary role="heading"> was an error
on your part, then it seems to me that you are fully able to imagine that
element can serve a double purpose - as button and as heading.
