Re: [w3ctag/spec-reviews] ARIA (#107)

"It would be great if custom roles could be created somehow..."

Agreed. Extensibility is something the ARIA WG is looking at for 2.0. AFAIK, this is the issue in question:

@slightlyoff 
"Specifically, I'd like for us to discuss the completeness of ARIA 1.1; there seem to be HTML elements whose intrinsic roles (e.g.  <p> ) which cannot be
reflected or re-created with ARIA 1.1. This is a major problem for Web Components and custom element authors."

It would be useful to do a gap analysis to identify exactly which element roles are missing from ARIA at present (assuming no-one has done this already). The HTML AAM is probably the place to start [1].

Suggest this would be something to focus on for 2.0, so we don't hold 1.1 up on its way to Recc.
