Re: SVG Accessibility Task Force Meeting, 17 April 2015, Minutes

Regarding my comment about "I think there's a proposal to use CSS selectors
to apply roles to a lot of elements at once".

It is mentioned in the ARIA 2 Requirements wiki page (#13):
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/wiki/ARIA_2_Requirements

With a link to this rough (and unofficial) proposal by Tab Atkins Jr:

I'm not sure how much traction there is for actually making this happen.
Tab's proposal is from 2012.
