    <thetext>The following elements have no role by default, and arguably that should be a strong semantic, either because (a) they are normally not presented, and in the rare case that they are, giving them any ARIA role would violate their semantics; or (b) because they are an interactive control that is specifically not any of the standard ARIA roles, so giving it any role would violate its semantics:

base
head
html
keygen
meta
meter
noscript
param
script
title</thetext>

    <thetext>Bug triage sub-team notes there is active discussion, and this appears to meet the threshold of being of interest to the HTML A11Y TF. Adding a11ytf keyword.</thetext>
