This is something I've been working on with the Android team. The current
Android accessibility API isn't rich enough to support everything in web
accessibility, so we're working on enhancing it in the next version - and
in the meantime we'll provide forwards compatibility by defining mappings
that use the flexible "Bundle" (a data structure that lets you add
additional attributes of any time).

The most common web elements and controls can be mapped now, though, so I'm
happy to help provide some guidance on those while we're figuring out the
rest.

iOS seems like a bit of a different situation since Apple doesn't allow
third-party web rendering engines - it might be interesting to know how
some HTML elements are mapped, but it's less practical because nobody can
create an alternative implementation.
