To be concrete: the current MSAA+IA2 mapping of role="form" is to map it
to IA2_ROLE_FORM [1]. Is the suggestion to change that to
IA2_ROLE_LANDMARK + xml-roles:"form"?
If so, are the other platforms affected? I imagine for
interoperability, you would want ATK/AT-SPI to change from ROLE_FORM to
ROLE_LANDMARK.
UIA seems to have it covered, in that they store both a Control type
(Group) and a Landmark Type (form) -- does that remain unchanged?
