I don't know the correct terminology, but yes, I'm wondering if this API will
expose the default role of every known element type, requiring a mapping table.

Some use cases and examples of how to use the API could help clarify, I don't
know the core issue and https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/427 is not
public.
