Description Jonathan Avila 2014-06-04 18:46:06 UTC 
The nightly build http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/dom.html#wai-aria indicates in the default implied semantics table that the ARIA radio role can't be used with the anchor element.  Checkbox and menuitemradio as well as menuitemcheckbox are included so I believe this was an accidental omission.
Comment 1 steve faulkner 2014-06-04 18:57:55 UTC 
have moved to html spec as that is where the mappings are defined
Comment 2 Jonathan Avila 2014-06-04 19:01:50 UTC 
Role of option also seems like a good candidate for mapping to the anchor element.
Comment 3 steve faulkner 2015-06-05 14:53:24 UTC 
moved to aria in html module
