Hi James,

The AAPI task force has been working on better mappings for role
rowgroup for the past month, and the mapping specs are likely going to
change.
We are converging on the following: If an element has role="rowgroup",
it is generally not mapped. If, however, it is focusable, is
interactive, or has some global aria-* property on it, then it will be
mapped.
If you agree, how would AX API map it?
