            Bug ID: 26135
           Summary: is role=status correct for output element?
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML5 spec
          Assignee: dave.null@w3.org

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.
