I'm not sure about that. There are a set of aria attributes that can be
used with any element [1]. An example is aria-owns who purpose is to
declare an otherwise missed parent/child relationship. In fact, the
section in the spec that describes them begins (my emphasis):
Some states and properties are applicable to all host language elements
*regardless of whether a role is applied*.
