Via validator/validator#1368.

It seems section 5 could use some updates following the language changes in in ARIA from w3c/aria#1454

    Related to #2836 and #2929.

    Since we are clarifying that text nodes are not allowed when allowed children is specified, I wonder whether we should also clarify in ARIA in HTML that HTML elements without a corresponding ARIA role are not allowed in such cases.

    Since these elements have no corresponding role in ARIA, we probably cannot reference them directly in the ARIA specification. Alternatively, could we add a note explaining this limitation and referencing ARIA in HTML, once the relevant clarification is in place?
