I will say that I stand corrected in that this for sure is prollyfill by definition. My point about polyfill is simply as I said - given no prollyfill tooling I'd extend the polyfill that already exists.

makes sense to me… however, what do you really get from this? does it translate as follows:   

<main> …</main>

become in the DOM:   

<div style="display:block" aria-role="main" ...> … </div>?  

Kinda interested to learn what tag polyfillers do.
