Add platform mappings for role-change notifications

Open joanmarie opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Contrary to what the ARIA spec used to suggest, platform accessibility APIs may indeed have a vehicle to notify assistive technologies that a role has changed. For instance, in ATK there are property-change signals. And one of the properties which can change happens to be accessible-role.

Core AAM already has a bunch of tables outlining platform-specific events/notifications which should be emitted when something changes. For some reason, role isn't there. It should be.
