Woah. Is it?

"When a WAI-ARIA role is provided, user agents MUST use the semantic
of the WAI-ARIA role for processing, not the native semantic"

Steve, I reckon the mapping of actions from implicit semantics when an
ARIA role is overriding those semantics would be a critical aspect to
cover in your implementation guide.
