Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2015-12-11 14:46:05 EST 
HTML specifies whether or not a tag supports the ARIA "role" attribute.
If the "role" attribute is supported by the tag, the spec also says which values of "role" the tag supports (and some tags support all possible roles).

For example, <ul> can have any of the following roles: directory, group, list, listbox, menu, menubar, presentation, radiogroup, tablist, toolbar, tree.

Another example: <button> can have role=button, link, menuitem, menuitemcheckbox, menuitemradio, or radio.

It would be really cool and useful if this relationship was encoded in the HTML content assist.

This is even more relevant now that authoring tools are being called out in section 508:
