--- Comment #10 from Rich Schwerdtfeger <schwer@us.ibm.com> ---
I don't believe so. Status is very specific, like a status bar. Status is a
live region that reports status about something else. I do believe it is a live
region but I don't think we can give it a role="status"

I would think the native host language semantics might be role="region" and
have an aria-live property associated. Both should be able to be overridden by
the author.
