   Email from @asurkov https://github.com/asurkov:

   input type file shouldn't list ROLE_SYSTEM_PUSHBUTTON. Otherwise it makes
   sense to say it's implementation dependent. So in Firefox we always expose
   a generic accessible for input type file and then button and text
   accessible for children. If we implemented UIA, then we would do same.

   When you say that for UIA you would do the same, do you mean as you
   currently do in FF, make a generic accessible object with button and text
   objects as children?

   yes

   Or do you mean you would do the same as what UIA does?

   no, at least this is a real issue breaking the screen readers :)

   So for MSAA+IA2, do we leave it "Depends on implementation", or do we
   specify something?

   perhaps all platforms should be flexible at this point and say
   'implementation dependent'. I think that was my original point.

   Looks like ATK maps to a similar minimum container+children structure.
   Should MSAA+IA2 follow? What do you suggest?

   ATK mapping looks reasonable, but any changes in MSAA will be not backward
   compatible, and we have a real chance to break AT by changing the
   implementation. I'm not sure about the best way to proceed.

   added a note, that the mapping is implementation dependent, it seems a best thing we can do - a20dbfe
