That would indeed be good, but that's not really that this bug is about. This
bug assumes my reading of the spec and requests (I think pragmatically) that
"img" be assigned a default role of "img".

Clarifying what user agents should do for elements not listed in the ARIA
section really belongs in some other bug. "img" is not the only element to
which this applies. Other elements include: "html", "head", "body", elements
that occur inside "head", and most curiously "i".
