Re: Current suggestion for subheading isn't accessible

Hi Denis,

the APis that provide roles for HTML elements do not have any subheading
semantic defined (as stated previously)

many of the the new structural elements in HTML do not have API roles
defined.

In these cases ARIA role are being used (example <header>= banner) and then
these roles are exposed as properties in the APIs

i.e. a good method to develop a role that is not already defined is via
ARIA.
