The best mapping would be the Text control type. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ee671651(v=vs.85).aspx

However, I the inheritance model of the text role described in the draft makes me very uncomfortable. I think it will be used in error and remove a lot of semantics and behavior from children.

Added "Text control pattern" to the MSAA+UIA and UIA mappings for role="text":

Cynthia, is this okay?

Notes from AAPI meeting:

- Treat as role presentation.
- Edge doesn't have multiple Text patterns; the document is a single object (can think of this as a single Text patterns.
- no longer separate text patterns.
- Best to say "not mapped" in the mapping spec.
- Cynthia will look into this, and try to get back to us on the 15th.

draft text looks ok. I'm still not comfortable with the inheritance model.
