Body element likely should not map to ARIA document role #117
Description
The HTML AAM currently maps body to the ARIA document role. But some accessibility APIs expect different mappings. For instance, in macOS the accessible object corresponding to body has a role of AXWebArea but the ARIA document role is an AXGroup (with a subrole of AXDocument). Similarly, in ATK, the accessible object corresponding to body should[*] be exposed as ATK_ROLE_DOCUMENT_WEB, with ATK_ROLE_DOCUMENT_FRAME being used for the document role.
[*] Gecko currently fails to do this, but I plan to provide a patch to fix that. WebKitGtk does it correctly.

Thanks @joanmarie.
I've updated all mappings for
bodybased on your summary and how the other browsers are currently mapping it. See 724677b.Please reopen if something's not right.

Everything other than UIA looks right to me. Since I know nothing about UIA other than what @boggydigital tells me, we should ask him. 😄

Control Type Pane is what Inspect.exe tells me, but I could be reading it wrong.
Reopening for @boggydigital to confirm and close or advise otherwise.
