Re: ACTION-1531: IA2 Mappings of role="text"

Hi, Joseph. I'm not confident about role="text". The spec wording makes me
think that role="text" should be mapped to IA2_ROLE_TEXT_FRAME accessible
that implements IAccessibleText and others. It seems it goes with UIA
mapping expectations, but it doesn't in sync with ATK mapping. I recall we
had large discussions in the past, but I'm not sure if agreed on anything.
