Aria mappings have been tricky enough that I'm sending it here for review instead of just posting a bug. input type=color and input type= (datetime, date, month, week, time, datetime-local) are defined with no role. I think that these should have role=spinbutton According to http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/#spinbutton A form of range that expects a user to select from amongst discrete choices. A spinbutton typically allows the user to select from the given range through the use of an up and down button on the keyboard. Visibly, the current value is incremented or decremented until a maximum or minimum value is reached. This functionality SHOULD be accomplished programmatically through the use of up and down arrows on the keyboard. Although a spinbutton is similar in appearance to many presentations of select, it is advisable to use spinbutton when working with known ranges (especially in the case of large ranges) as opposed to distinct options. For example, a spinbutton representing a range from 1 to 1,000,000 would provide much better performance than a select widget representing the same values. -jJ
