These are my thoughts as well. The proposal seems nice as a
convenient way to get a given bundle of behaviors. But we *really*
need to stop considering these "roles" as atomic, and instead break
them down into what they really mean.
In other words, I want to explain the "button" behavior as something
like:
- Default-focusable - Activatable with certain key commands -
Announced by AT as a button
and then I want to be able to apply any of these abilities (or others
like them) to any given custom element. Once we have these
lower-level primitives we'll be in a much better place.
Isn't that, in a way, what we currently have already?
- default focusable: add tabindex=0
- activatable with certain key commands: define key command handlers
yourself in JS
- announced by AT as a button: role="button"
