You can't break the web unless a particular practice is already widespread and changing the current behavior for it would be detrimental to sites relying on the current behavior. Are there a significant number of sites currently using <h1 role=button> and expecting it to be presented as a button to ATs? Are there ATs who *do* present it as such? Both of those have to be true before "don't break the web" becomes relevant. ~TJ
