Implied default ARIA roles should not be applied to equivalent native HTML elements - this is an HTML validation issue - but it may not be a WCAG violations and in some cases some AT may require it. My question takes this a step further. When a role is applied are native semantics still valid? For example, does alt become the accessible name in this case or does the element below require an ARIA based accessible name. <img alt="course catalog" role="img" src="catalog.jpg"> That is - by adding the role attribute does that somehow change applicability of the native markup in the accessible name calculation.
